Cornbread With Creme Fraiche Recipes

SOUR CREAM CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Mix cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Add sour cream, butter, and eggs; stir until fully incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a tooth pick inserted in the center of the cornbread comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

CORNMEAL-CREME FRAICHE SPOON BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, butter, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to maintain simmer. Gradually whisk in cornmeal until mixture is thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; whisk in creme fraiche.
• In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and chives. Gradually whisk in cornmeal mixture; fold in corn.
• Butter a 9-inch round cake pan. Whisk egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Stir one-quarter of beaten whites into cornmeal mixture to loosen. Gently fold in remaining whites until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until puffed and lightly browned on top, about 40 minutes. Serve immediately.

BEST SUPER MOIST CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a large bowl whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In a medium bowl mix together butter, oil, milk, and eggs.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until combined.
• Transfer batter to your prepared pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean or with only a few crumbs (no wet batter).
• Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. Serve with butter and honey if desired. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or in the fridge for 1 week.

CORNBREAD PANCAKES WITH FRESH STRAWBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in sugar, water, and lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Lower heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until strawberries are very soft, and the syrup starts to thicken, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the stove and carefully pass through a mesh sieve into a bowl. Discard any seeds and fibrous bits that are left in the sieve. Let syrup cool for 15 minutes, then cover and store in the refrigerator until needed.
• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl until all ingredients are well incorporated; set aside.
• Place buttermilk, cornmeal, and 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir with a whisk until butter melts and mixture starts to simmer. Once simmering, cook and stir until very thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes.
• Whisk eggs into the cooled cornmeal mixture until incorporated. Add the reserved flour mixture and stir with a spatula until well combined and no flour remains in the saucepan; batter will be thick but still scoopable.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, scoop 1/3 cup batter for each pancake into the hot skillet and press them down with the back of a spatula to flatten out. Cook until the outside edges start to look a little dry, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side until pancakes are cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat to cook remaining pancakes, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary.
• Top warm pancakes with strawberry syrup.

DOUBLE-CORN FRITTERS WITH DUNGENESS CRAB CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• For fritters:
• Mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Whisk buttermilk and egg in small bowl to blend. Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients, then stir in corn kernels, onion, and bell pepper (do not overmix).
• Pour enough oil into large skillet to coat bottom. Heat oil over medium heat. Working in batches, drop 1 scant tablespoon batter for each fritter into hot skillet; spread each to 2-inch round. Fry until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to baking sheet. (Can be made ahead. Let stand at room temperature up to 2 hours or cover and chill overnight. Bake uncovered in 350°F oven until heated through, 6 to 8 minutes.)
• For crème fraîche:
• Place crabmeat in medium bowl. Fold in crème fraîche, 1/4 cup chives, white pepper, and cayenne. Season with salt. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover; chill. Stir before using.)
• Arrange warm fritters on platter. Top with crab mixture and garnish with additional chives.
