Southern Plantation Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix together the corn meal, flour, salt, and baking powder.
• In a separate bowl mix together the eggs, butter, and buttermilk. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until well blended.
• Heat a dry 12 inch cast iron skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Add corn oil to skillet, swirl oil around to coat bottom and sides. Leave remaining oil in pan. Return to high heat for 1 minute.
• Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet and cook on high heat until bubbles start to form in the center. Remove from stove.
• Bake in a preheated 400 degree F (200 degree C) oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. In a saucepan, combine the flour, half-and-half cream and 1/2 cup butter until smooth; heat over medium high heat, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened. Stir in cheese until thoroughly melted.
• 3. Add the sour cream to help cool the mixture, then add the whipping cream and beaten egg until blended. Add remaining melted butter; fold in corn muffin mix until well blended, then add the diced ham and mix until evenly distributed.
• 4. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until set. (Do not overbake! This bread is very moist.)
