YANKEE CORN BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Generously grease bottom and side of 10-inch cast-iron skillet with shortening or spray with cooking spray. Heat greased skillet in oven about 5 minutes or until hot.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat milk, butter and egg with egg beater or wire whisk. Stir in remaining ingredients all at once just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Carefully remove skillet from oven. Pour batter into skillet.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm if desired.

FANTABULOUS YANKEE CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Once the oven is hot start the recipe since you want a screaming hot oven.
• Grease the bottom and sides of the cast iron skillet with the shortening. Use more than 1 tablespoon if you need to get more coverage.
• By hand, sift all the dry ingredients together and stir them to make sure they are combined and make a well in the center.
• Combine the eggs, milk and oil and mix well.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir only until they combine. I fold them together with a spatula.
• Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Gently pour into your cast iron skillet being careful not to deflate the batter.
• Bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

YANKEE CORNBREAD

Steps:

• 1. Stir together dry ingredients. Then add egg, oil, and enough milk to make a batter a bit thinner than brownie batter but thicker than cake batter. Pour this into greased 9x9 inch pan. Bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven about 20-30 minutes till done and lightly browned on top.
• 2. Notes: Now should you desire to add the additives you just put them in with the exception of sour cream, if adding sour cream, you add ½ teaspoon baking soda and add the sour cream before the milk.
• 3. I like to omit the sugar then put in a bit of sour cream, chopped jalapenos, a handful of whole kernel corn, a handful of shredded mexican cheese, and a bit of chopped cilantro for a nice Mexican cornbread.
