How To Make Homemade Cornbread For Thanksgiving Meals

During the fall season, we enjoy entertaining our friends and family with a large Thanksgiving holiday meal. We will spend 30 hours cooking and baking a feast for our large family.

One of the items we enjoy baking are some homemade cornbreads. To fit with the theme of my Thanksgiving holiday meal, I use a cast-iron corn bread pan that has cavities that are shaped like small ears of corn. You can pick up this type of baking pan at your local kitchen shop or discount department store for around $15.00.

Corn Bread Recipe

1 egg
1/2 cup cold milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly spray your cast iron corn bread pan with nonstick cooking spray and let dry for 1 minute.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine a beaten egg with the cold milk and vegetable oil until well combined. In a large-sized bowl, mix together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder and the granulated sugar. Slowly stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until all ingredients are wet and well combined. I like to hand stir mine using a silicone spatula so that the batter won't stick to my spoon.

Spoon the batter into your lightly greased baking pan, filling the cavity 90% full. (allow just a little space for expansion.) Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 18-20 minutes or until they are done. The tops should be lightly golden brown in color.

Remove them from the oven and leave them in the baking pan. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool and then remove them from your pan.

Serving Suggestions: We like to serve ours with some apple or honey butter.
