Another Pinterest recipe. This was was unimpressive as a corn bread. Since that is what it was supposed to be I can’t really recommend this one and especially not as “the best cornbread ever” as touted by the original posting found here: http://www.pincookie.com/the-best-cornbread-ever/
This cornbread was very easy and very moist. It was delicious enough that I needed no butter or honey ~ favorites on my cornbread. The problem was the “corn” part. It was non-existent.
This was essentially a bread with a little corn meal added. Honestly this is what I thought when I saw the overly-pale photo on the original page. But they could have used white cornmeal, so I didn’t question. I again thought this as I was added so little cornmeal to the large amount of other ingredients. Upon giving this bread to another, they thought it was good, but didn’t even know it was even cornbread until they were told. Not a good sign.
As always, I will put the recipe here (or you can go to the original source). Regardless of whether I liked it or not you are free to try it and judge for yourself.
“Cornbread”
What you need:
2 Cups biscuit mix (I used Bisquick)
6 Tablespoons. cornmeal
1/2 Cup sugar
8 Tablespoons butter – melted
2 large eggs
1 Cup milk
Make It!!
Mix biscuit mix, cornmeal and sugar in medium bowl
In small bowl, mix melted butter, eggs and milk
Pour egg, butter and milk mixture into your dry ingredients and stir until blended.
Pour batter into greased 8 x 8 pan or greased muffin tins
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes (20 min for muffins) or until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
I could probably come up with some ways to make this better, more like a real cornbread with a nice cornbread flavor, but I won’t bother. I’m sure there are many other cornbread recipes out there that will accomplish this without me guessing at what would taste good. I’ll post one when I find one.
Clearly this is my personal opinion about this recipe. If you are someone that is often turned off by a strong cornmeal flavor or “mealy” consistence of normal cornbread then perhaps this is just the recipe for you.
