Corn bread

I have always enjoyed cooking, especially cooking for my family. I have been looking for years for the perfect corn bread recipe, have tried many and eventually become disappointed in that recipe for some reason or other. I have recently been catching a TV show occasionally called "America's Test Kitchen" and tried a recipe for corn bread they worked out. This may be the one!

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour ....and set aside

Mix into food processor:
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
a dash or two of hot sauce (I put in a dash and didn't even notice it when we ate it)
blend a bit---not too much, you don't want to make mush out of the corn.

Fold in the dry ingredients
Fold in some melted butter---I didn't get the amount.
Heat iron skillet on top of stove with oil in the skillet until very hot then remove from heat. Pour batter into the skillet, smooth out and put into a 450 degree oven and bake until done. Tooth pick test it. They said to let it rest for 20 minutes but it didn't get to rest in this house.

GOOD STUFF.

Thank you for sharing food recipes. As you know, I love a good inspiration! I'll try this with some green Chile stew. :)

Good Morning Connie,
I haven't eaten any cornbread in awhile. Sounds good.
A lady from New Zealand left a comment on my blog last night and when I clicked on it I thought about you. The name of her blog is Born to Read & Knit. You might want to check it out. I think you would enjoy it. Her name is Alison. If you go to the comments on my blog for yesterday and click on her name, it will take you to her blog.
By the way - I passed a "You Make My Day" award that I received yesterday on to you. It's in today's post. And - you do make my day. I enjoy reading your blog everyday even when it is nothing, ziltch, nada, zero. It is always interesting.

I've been looking for a good recipe. The few I've tried have always turned out too dry. I'll try this one, sounds good with the actual corn in it. Thanks for sharing.

It is 4 Tablespoons of melted butter that you mix in.
