Country Cornbread

This delicious cornbread recipe is easy to make and has incredible texture! It pairs perfectly with our Maple Beef and Bacon Chili. I love mine sliced in half and topped with butter and local honey from Hiwire Honeybees. For the cornmeal I recommend Bob's Red Mill Medium Grind Cornmeal and for the flour I recommend Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose Flour. You can also make this recipe into muffins instead of a bread! Just be sure to shorten the baking time to approximately 15 minutes.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup canola oil or similar
1 large egg
1 cup milk

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400F. Spray or grease a square baking pan, 9-inch round cake pan, or cast iron skillet.
2. Add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Stir well to combine.
3. Add the oil, milk, and egg to your dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
4. Pour the batter into your sprayed/greased pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Serve warm with butter, local honey, and a bowl of our Maple Beef and Bacon Chili. Enjoy!
