This is a great recipe from River Road Recipes (published by the Junior League of Baton Rouge). Perfect served with gumbo or red beans & rice, or any Southern meal.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan (or, for more authenticity, a cast iron skillet). Preheat oven to 425. Place pan in oven to preheat.
  2. 2
    Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, and sugar in mixing bowl. Add corn oil and use a cutting motion with spoon so that oil will be well blended with other ingredients. Add the boiling water and mix well.
  3. 3
    Add cold milk and stir. Let stand for a few minutes until batter has cooled to room temperature.
  4. 4
    Mix in egg and then baking powder; beat briskly.
  5. 5
    Remove preheated pan from oven and pour in batter. Bake until lightly browned (approx. 20 minutes).

This was a very nice southern cornbread and I knew we would like it because it had very little sugar. However, mine never did rise and I followed the recipe to the letter. Flavor was still there though. Went well with my beef and cabbage soup. Thanks Made for Zaar Stars Tag Game

    Great cornbread to have with chili! Not too sweet, just like we like it!

    Nice cornbread. I made as directed but next time would need to add more sugar. I would recommend adding 1 to 2 tablespoons. Mine baked in 20 minutes exactly. Thanks AD. Made for win in The Best of 2008 Cookbook Swap.

    Very good Cornbread! I liked it very much and so did the Missus. I served it with Hazeleyes crockpot hamburger soup #214937 and we enjoyed it very much. I will probably add some extra sugar the next time I make it. Thanks appleydappley. GemBob
