Beer Cornbread Recipes

BEER CHEESE CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (see Cook's Note) on the center rack of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter and let cool in a medium heatproof bowl.
• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, corn, 3/4 cup of the Cheddar and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in another medium bowl. Make a well in the center.
• Add the beer, eggs and vegetable oil to the cooled butter and whisk together. Pour into the well in the dry ingredients. Stir together gently until just combined.
• Once the oven has preheated, carefully remove the cast-iron skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, swirling until completely melted. Pour in the cornbread batter and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar.
• Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back to the touch, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool for 10 minutes and serve.

CHEDDAR BEER CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the stick of butter in an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish and place it in the preheating oven just until the butter melts.
• Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and remove six tablespoons of the melted butter. Set aside.
• Swirl the pan to distribute the remaining two tablespoons of butter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, dry mustard, and smoked paprika. Sprinkle in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese and whisk until blended.
• Pour the beer over the flour mixture and stir until just blended. The dough will be wet, loose, and sticky.
• Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the top.
• Pour the dough into the buttered 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
• Pour the six tablespoons of melted butter over the top.
• Bake for about 25 minutes until the middle is set and the top begins to turn golden brown.
