Cornbread.


I don't like cornbread. At least, I thought I didn't. Always so dry and gritty. Turns out, I don't like other people's cornbread. But, my cornbread is awesome.


Ingredients
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 3 cup bread flour
  • 1⅓ cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 4 Tablespoons honey
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. (Baking spray)
In a large mixing bowl, stir the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Pour in the vegetable oil, melted butter, honey, beaten eggs, and milk, and stir just until moistened.
Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. 

Check for doneness in the center with a toothpick or with a skewer like I do.

This stuff is very light and moist. Not gritty. And it's sweet... almost cake-like.

You should make it. It requires no special skills or equipment. I didn't even bring out the mixer to make it... It takes 10-15 minutes of prep, and then cooking time. 

Now, while you're writing this down, I'm going to go smother a piece of it with turkey chili.
