Blue Ribbon Corn Bread Recipes

BLUE CORN CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer/by hand), cream the butter and sugar.
• Next, whisk the eggs and milk in a bowl until blended. In another bowl, sift together the flour, blue cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
• Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the creamed butter and sugar with the mixer on low speed, then 1/2 the egg/milk mixture, then 1/3 of the flour mixture, the last half of the egg/milk mixture, then the rest of the flour mixture, waiting until each installment is absorbed before adding the next. If adding the corn kernels, stir them in with a spatula just before the last installment of flour is incorporated.
• Pour the cornbread batter into a butter greased 13 x 9 x 2inch baking dish. Bake for 22-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cut your cornbread into squares, and drizzle honey or spread butter onto your cornbread when ready to serve.

SOUTHERN CORNBREAD BY RENAE

Steps:

• 1. Mix the dry ingredients together with a whisk. In the mean time melt the margarine in a microwave but save til the end. Also heavily coat the cast iron skillet with the butter flavored spray and place in a cold oven. Set the oven for 400 degrees and start it heating.
• 2. Add eggs to the dry mixture and stir in buttermilk. Make sure the consistency is just a little thinner than pudding. May want less or more buttermilk than called for so stir in half or more of the buttermilk and work from there.
• 3. Once the batter is the right consistency, mix in the melted margarine continuing to use the whisk. Make sure well incorporated.
• 4. Remove the now hot skillet from the oven that should be at 400 degrees by now and pour the batter into the pan. Should hear a little sizzle. Place in oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. Turn out onto a plate, slice and enjoy.
• 5. Note: The reason I use margarine instead of butter is because of the oil content. Margarine is just essentially butter flavored oil.
