Entirely Too Rich Corn Bread
“I seldom use boxed mixes, but for this, my sister Joanne's decadently delicious corn bread, I make an exception. She uses canned cream corn (see her variation below); I prefer corn kernels. You can use either–both versions are very moist, almost like spoon bread. This is excellent with chilis, stews, and meaty soups.“–The Old Farmer's Almanac Everyday Baking Cookbook
Ingredients
Instructions
Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the corn kernels and boil for 6 to 7 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a plate to cool. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, if using. Set aside. Empty the corn bread mix into a large mixing bowl. Add the sour cream, butter, and egg and whisk until smooth. Stir in the corn kernels. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake on the center oven rack for 40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Cornbread does not have sugar
Cornbread does not have sugar in it ... If it does it's called " Yankee Cornbread " or Cake .
RE: Cornbread receipe
RE: Cornbread receipe
The usual receipe is
1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup white cornmeal 1/4 cup white sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup buttermilk
Compare to cornbread receipe given and it is easy to see that the box of prepared corn bread contains white flour, corn meal, baking powder and baking soda. WOW what a buy !!
Only useful when you don't want or have flour sitting around.
Check out yorkshire pudding, bran muffins, graham cracker pie crusts. Many others are the same deal.
The corn goes in whole? This
The corn goes in whole? This is hard to imagine -- why not a little whirl in a blender? Do the kernels add to the flavor more?
Keeping the kernels whole
Keeping the kernels whole gives the bread more chew and it is quite enjoyable. We hope you’ll give it a try and be pleasantly surprised!
