Easy Restaurant Recipe for Cornbread
Excellent With Chili and Soup


My traditional cornbread restaurant recipe takes me back to my
childhood days with my mother making cornbread and chili.


The aromas were wonderful and the meal was just soooo gooood!


But thanks to mother, and probably her mother before her, I am
able to enjoy the same experience today, at home and at my
restaurant.

Cooking Conversion Table


Ingredients:
2 l/2 cups flour, stirred
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon baking powder (4 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
2 beaten eggs
5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon melted butter


Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
Grease baking pan or muffin pan (or use muffin paper liners)
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt and blend
In a small bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs and butter; stir into dry ingredients
Do not over mix or texture will not be right
Pour into greased pan or scoop into greased or paper lined muffin pan filling 2/3 full
Bake 16-18 minutes for muffins and about 25-30 minutes if using a 9 X 13 inch pan or
until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean


Check doneness at the earliest suggested time as ovens vary in temperature.
I use a cast iron cornbread pan when making this recipe at home. I love it.
