Corn Bread

Ingredients:

  • 1¼ cup cornmeal
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup milk (low-fat)
  • 1 egg (large)
  • 3 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 9- x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in medium bowl. Whisk together milk, egg and butter in separate bowl. Stir milk mixture into cornmeal mixture, then fold in corn.
  3. Spread in prepared pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until sides begin to brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on rack before slicing and serving.

Fresh corn kernels in the batter win this bread rave reviews (and keep it moist). Add chives and freshly ground pepper, if desired, to give it an extra kick.
