Arkansas Corn Bread Recipes

GRANDMA'S OLD-FASHIONED CORNBREAD RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the over to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Combine powder, soda, salt, sugar, cornmeal and flour in a large bowl. Combine buttermilk and eggs in a bowl. Place your iron skillet in the oven and put the 2 tablespoons butter into the skillet to melt. (You can substitute a 8x8 pyrex but it's not the same) Pour the buttermilk and egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Then add the melted butter. The batter should be lumpy and just a bit on the dry side. Pour this mixture into the hot iron skillet then bake for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted into it comes out just shy of clean. The primary difference in this recipe is the addition of the sugar. It makes a a sweeter recipe. I also increase the cornmeal and decrease the flour because I like my cornbread to be a bit "cornier."

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange bacon in a Reynolds® Bakeware Bacon Pan.

Add the milk mixture all at once to the cornmeal mixture. Add the chopped bacon. Stir just until moistened. Pour the batter into an 8x8-inch Reynolds® Bakeware Pan.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

• Remove the hot cast-iron skillet from the oven and pour the batter into it, then give the pan a smack on the countertop to even it out. Return pan to oven and bake, approximately 30 to 40 minutes, until the corn bread is browned on top and a toothpick or a thin knife inserted into the top comes out clean.
