QUICK CORNBREAD WITH HONEY-BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray an 8-inch or 9-inch square pan with cooking spray.

• Add the cornbread mix, using a spatula to combine with wet ingredients.
• Scrape cornbread mixture into the prepared pan and place in the preheated oven. Cook cornbread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool a bit.
• In a small bowl, add softened butter and honey and stir to combine. Cut cornbread into pieces, and slather honey butter onto the warm cornbread.

CLASSIC CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil.
• Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg, vegetable oil and buttermilk, then fold into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until just combined.

CORNBREAD WITH FRESH OR FROZEN SWEET CORN

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F. Thoroughly grease a 9 x 9-inch baking dish.
• Sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
• Combine the half-and-half, eggs, butter (or shortening), and sugar (if using).
• Add half-and-half mixture to the flour mixture and combine just until the flour is moistened, no more than 10 to 15 seconds. Then fold in the corn, but don't overmix the batter or your cornbread will be too tough.
• Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and bake the cornbread immediately.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean and the edge of the cornbread starts to separate from the baking dish. Cut into slices or squares. Serve and enjoy.
