Another Favorite Recipe - Cornbread

Smoked pork chops were on the menu last night.  And since it is almost impossible to eat a pork chop without corn bread, I was basically obligated to whip up a batch:

Pan o' Cornbread (next to my favorite green beans!)
Grease a brownie pan or muffin tin.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In large bowl mix together 1 1/4 cups cornmeal, 1 cup whole wheat flour (you could also use white), 1/2 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt.  In an smaller bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1 cup milk and 1/4 oil (or liquid lard or bacon grease).  Pour liquid into cornmeal mixture & combine.  Add anywhere from 3/4 - one whole can of corn & mix all together (you can also toss the whole corn in the blender for a second if you don't like whole kernels in the bread).  Pour into brownie pan (or muffin tins) and bake for 20 - 25 minutes.
Yum!

  3. I'll try that. Years ago Emeril had a "manly man stuffed cornbread". OMG, had bacon, corn, cheese, I don't even remember but it was a MEAL! I like this since it won't give you a heart attack and has more ww flour, thanks!

  4. That looks delicious. If I add one more bread recipe to my collection I'll be big as a house by the time I get to try them all!
