I'm pretty sure this is one of my recipes that breaks whatever "southern rules" I'm supposed to be following. I love sweet cornbread. I also prefer equal parts flour and cornmeal so that it isn't too "gritty". Through my extensive research (read: google for less than 2 minutes), I apparently prefer cornbread that is more often found in the northern states and I'm okay with that. It's better. It just is. A big piece of buttery cornbread dripping in honey...yes ma'am!
1 cup flour (I used self-rising because that is what is in the jar on my counter.)
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup white sugar
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Throw it all in a bowl, whisk it up, dump it into a lightly sprayed cast iron skillet and bake it for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Enjoy! Which do you prefer? Sweet or unsweet cornbread?
I'm a sweet cornbread kind of girl too. I don't like "real" southern cornbread at all! (I actually make Jiffy muffins whenever we have vegetable soup since they're sweeter and less "meal-y"). And in Mississippi, I would say that's definitely the minority.
ReplyDeleteSweet for sure! Gorgeous photo per usual. I recently bought the 50 mm lens and LOVE it thanks to you!
ReplyDeleteI'm more of an unsweetened cornbread gal myself. Gorgeous photos - you've really turned into quite the photographer.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you shared this recipe. My husband and I both like our cornbread sweet but my mom & grandmother's recipes are both unsweet. I'll most definitely be trying this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe... I loveee sweet cornbread!
ReplyDeleteIt looks yummy! I've pinned it for later.
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya, lady! I'm a Southern girl through and through, but I LOVE me some sweet cornbread!!!
ReplyDeletemmm. So yummy! I am definitely making this soon. The problem is I could eat the whole pan by myself. I am looking to register for a cast iron skillet like this one.. do you know what brand this one is? Or any brands similar that you would recommend?
ReplyDeletexoxo.
This skillet is Lodge. It's a pretty common brand and you can get them at World Market and Cracker Barrel. I think this one is the 10.5". :)
