Cornbread

It's been a while since we had chili.  But Baby Boy needs to work on his spoon skills.  So chili it is.  The chili I make is a not fancy.  Just turkey meat with a McCormick chili mix packet.  

But chili must come with cornbread and that I can do.  Cornbread is super easy to make.  Baby Girl usually helps me make the cornbread.  

I was missing this pan for a while.  I use to have a few Pyrex dishes in the 9 inch size.  Now all I have is this one.  At least it's the one with a lid.  

This cornbread recipe is my go to recipe.  It's super easy to make.  The only ingredient that you might not have in the home is buttermilk.  But it is for sure a must.  

Cornbread

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup melted butter cooled
• 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
• 2 tablespoon honey
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 cup buttermilk at room temperature

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400F.  Grease a 8 or 9 inch square baking pan.  Set aside.  
2. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.  
3. Whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and honey together.  Then whisk in the egg until combined.  Finally whisk in the buttermilk.  
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until combined.  Try to not over mix.  Make sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl not to miss anything.  
5. Pour batter into prepared baking pan.  Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and the center is cooked through.  Use a toothpick to test.  
6. Allow to cool before slicing and serving. 

This cornbread is so good.  The hardest part is waiting for it to cool to eat.  

Keep cooking Friends!
