Sweet Potato Corn Bread Cooks Country Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In a small bowl, combine the eggs, milk, oil and sweet potatoes. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. , Bake at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cut into squares. Serve warm.

Steps:

• For the sweet potato pie filling: Boil the sweet potato whole in a saucepan in enough water to cover until tender when pierced, 20 to 25 minutes. Peel and slice.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
• Combine the sweet potato, sugar, butter, cream, orange juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and egg in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain. Set aside.
• Make the cornbread: Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, egg, butter and oil in a separate bowl. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened. (The batter will be lumpy and thick.)
• Pour the cornbread batter into the greased skillet. Spoon the sweet potato pie filling over the top in dollops. Use a wooden or metal skewer to create a marbling effect. (But do not mix in the sweet potato filling too much.)
• Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 7 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees and lightly brush a 12-cup muffin tin with oil.
• Place potato in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potato is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potato, then return to the pot and mash until mostly smooth. Measure out 1/2 cup and transfer to a large bowl (discard any remaining potato in the pot). Add eggs, oil and milk to bowl and stir to combine.
• Sift flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in separate large bowl. Add potato mixture and mix until just combined. (Do not overmix.) Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups and bake until the cornbread is puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• INSTRUCTIONS 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Prick potatoes all over with fork. Microwave on large plate until potatoes are very soft and surfaces are slightly wet, 10 to 15 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes. Immediately slice potatoes in half to release steam. 2. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop flesh into bowl and mash until smooth (you should have about 1 3/4 cups); discard skins. Whisk in milk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in separate large bowl. Stir sweet potato mixture into cornmeal mixture until combined. 3. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in 10-inch ovensafe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling, about 3 minutes. Swirl butter to coat bottom and sides. Pour batter into hot skillet and smooth top with rubber spatula. Bake until cornbread is golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cornbread cool in skillet on wire rack for 1 hour. Loosen edges of cornbread from skillet with spatula and slide out onto cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve.
