Savoury cornbread

Savoury cornbread is a delightful, comforting dish that brings a bit of Southern charm to any meal. This recipe is easy to prepare and delivers deliciously moist and flavor-rich cornbread. It's perfect alongside soups, salads, and barbecue, or even enjoyed on its own as a hearty snack.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 tbsp baking powder
16g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 cup cornmeal
160g
1 tsp sugar
5g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1 egg
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 tbsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of salt, 1 cup of cornmeal, and 1 tsp of sugar.
- Mix well to ensure even distribution of the baking powder and salt throughout the dry ingredients.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of olive oil, and 1 egg until smooth and well combined.
4. Mix Ingredients Together:
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Pour the wet mixture into the well.
- Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Pour Batter:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula if necessary.
6. Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- After it has slightly cooled, cut into squares and serve warm.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking.

- Use a cast iron skillet for true Southern-style cornbread with a crispy crust.

- Do not overmix the batter; this can make the cornbread dense.

- For added flavor, consider adding a cup of shredded cheese or a handful of chopped jalapeños to the batter.

- Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes in the skillet after baking to make it easier to slice.

Creating savoury cornbread at home is a rewarding experience that results in a versatile side dish or snack. Whether you stick to the basic recipe or get creative with add-ins, this cornbread is sure to please.
