BLUE CORN CORNBREAD

BLUE CORN CORNBREAD

“Cornbread made with blue cornmeal is slightly sweet, with a cake-like texture.”


1 cup blue cornmeal
1 cup all- purpose flour
5 tsp. baking powder
¼ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
½ cup butter


Preheat oven to 350^. Grease a 9x9-inch-baking pan.

Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl. Sift 3 times.

Stir in eggs and milk into cornmeal mixture. Place the butter into the prepared baking dish, and melt in the preheated oven. Mix hot, melted butter into cornmeal mixture. Transfer cornmeal mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Bake on center rack in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the edges of the cornbread pulls away from the sides of the dish, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.

Yield: 16 servings.
