Fall is wonderful for cooler temperatures. I also like to make heartier meals in the fall since it is cooler. I was craving homemade cornbread today so I figured I would make some and try and find something to go with it. I didn't have any meat on hand so I decided to go with a homemade Macaroni and Cheese. It didn't turn out as well as I had hoped but the cornbread turned out superb. I always like honey butter with my cornbread as well. Just makes it that much better.
Corn Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, stirred and measured
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal (I have made it with white as well)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup soft shortening (I use canola oil)
- Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cornmeal.
- Add eggs, milk and shortening.
- Beat with electric beater until just smooth, about 1 minute.
- Pour into greased 9x9x2-inch pan.
- Bake at 425 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes.
For this I just take a cube of butter and about 4 tablespoons-1/4 cup of honey. I mix it with a electric mixer until fluffy.
Your blog is great Amy! I am excited to try some of your recipes. I was talking to mom on the phone on the way home from the shower last and was telling her how amazing the trifle and cake balls were. She wanted the recipe to the trifle so I sent her the link to this blog as well to all my sisters, sisters in law, mother in law and grandmother. :)
