Butter just melts right in to the cornbread making it rich and flavorful with every bite. This is a great side dish for Creamy White Chicken Chili, White Chicken Chili or Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder.
Homemade Cornbread
I usually make this as a side to a chili or a mexican dish. They are easy and so delicious. My boys would prefer to have them for every meal. They are always gone in about 2 seconds. I used to always make them in a 8×8, But now I make them individually in a muffin pan. They are easy to grab at the dinner table and everyone loves the individuality of the cornbread muffins. These are great to serve at a potluck or BBQ. I have notice they don’t last long when they are served. Either Cornbread or Cornbread Muffins, butter and some honey will add a great touch that will melt in your mouth!
How Do You Make Cornbread Muffins?
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease muffin tins or line a muffin pan with muffin liners and set aside. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Add in the eggs and butter milk and stir until combined. In another large mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking soda, powder, and sat. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and stir until combined. Batter will be lumpy. Add the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden. Cool the muffins for a few minutes in the pan, then serve warm. Note: The muffins will not have a dome shape like a cupcake, it will be more of a flat top.
What is Cornmeal?
Cornmeal is a meal ground from dried maize. It is a common staple food, and is ground to fine, medium, and coarse consistencies, but not as fine as wheat flour. In the United States, very finely ground cornmeal is referred to as corn flour.
What Can I Substitute with Cornmeal?
If cornmeal is used in a recipe for its texture, you may use substitutes, like semolina, breadcrumbs, ground oats. If you are not particular about the flavor, you may try rice flour, wheat flour, tapioca. Any of them can be used as a cornmeal substitute for baking purposes.
How Long Does Cornbread Last?
Properly stored, freshly baked corn bread will last for about 1 to 2 days at normal room temperature. Freshly baked corn bread will keep well for about 1 week in the fridge when properly stored.
Can You Freeze Cornbread?
Yes, you can definitely freeze cornbread. We simply cut it into squares and place in a well sealed container. If you are layering the cornbread, place parchment paper between the layers to avoid it sticking. Defrost cornbread by letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes or so.
