ISO: Cornbread

I’ve never made cornbread. We really enjoy the cornbread that they serve at Montana’s. It tastes a little sweet and lemony. My daughter keeps asking me to make some.

Does anyone have a recipe that they’ve actually made and liked? I’ve checked out other sites but I want a recipe that someone likes to make.

Thanks!

Aline check out my post about turducken, there is a recipe there that is quite good. I have others I will post this weekend.

Aline here is one I have made. My family likes it but I am not that fond of it:

Recipe Name: MEXICAN CORNBREAD RECIPE
Category: BREAD
Serves: 0

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tables sugar
1 teaspo salt
1/2 teaspo baking soda
2 teaspo baking powder
2 eggs beaten
1 cup buttermilk (or use buttermilk powder
with water as directed to make 1 cup)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 small can (approximately 8 ounces) cream-style corn
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tables chopped bell pepper (red and green both)
1 can chopped green chile peppers drained
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and the baking soda. Stir to blend.
  • In another bowl, combine the beaten eggs, buttermilk with oil, corn, onion, chile peppers, and shredded cheese. Blend into the dry ingredients until moistened.
  • Pour into a greased 9-inch square baking pan.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, corn bread is done when a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Thanks, looking forward to the recipes.

FYI, this cornbread doesn’t have any corn niblets in it. It’s more of a dessert cornbread - sweet and lemony!

Aline,
I have used the Boston Market Clone recipe for cornbread with success. If you want a lemony flavor, try adding some lemon extract. The cornbread has a sweeter taste than “normal” cornbread.

Here is the recipe I used:

Boston Market Cornbread (clone)
1 box Jiffy Mix Cornbread Mix
1 box Jiffy Mix Yellow Cake Mix
OR
2 boxes Jiffy Mix Cornbread Mix
1 box regular yellow cake mix

Mix both boxes according to directions and combine the batter. I generally use a large mix bowl and add both boxes together. I add the other ingredients all at once. If you have only boxes of jiffy mix, use a brownie size 8-inch square baking pan. If you use a box of regular cake mix, use a 9 x 13-inch pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F until done. This takes about 30 minutes. Test for doneness.

Servings: 4

If you don’t have Jiffy mixes then just make a regular cornbread mix and mix with a regular yellow cake mix and add the flavoring.

Hope you enjoy
