cornbread recipe

Print This Post Print This Post

Looking for a classic cornbread recipe? Look no further than this easy-to-follow recipe, made with simple ingredients and baked to perfection. Serve it alongside your favorite chili, stew, or barbecue.

Here is a recipe for classic cornbread:

Ingredients:

1 cup yellow cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 9-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cornbread tough.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cornbread comes out clean.

Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for making cornbread:

Use buttermilk: Buttermilk gives cornbread a tangy flavor and tender crumb. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.

Don’t overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the cornbread tough. Stir until just combined, then stop.

Use a hot skillet: Heating the skillet in the oven before adding the batter helps create a crispy crust.

Add-ins: Feel free to add in chopped jalapeños, cheddar cheese, or cooked bacon for extra flavor.

Leftovers: Cornbread is delicious the next day toasted with butter for breakfast or crumbled over a salad for added crunch.

banana pudding recipe

Print This Post Print This Post

Looking for a classic dessert recipe? Try this delicious banana pudding, made with layers of vanilla wafers, fresh bananas, and creamy homemade pudding. Topped with whipped cream, this dessert is perfect for any occasion.

Here is a recipe for classic banana pudding:

Ingredients:

1 box of vanilla wafers

3-4 ripe bananas, sliced

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups sugar

3 egg yolks

2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

Whipped cream, for topping (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.

Add the egg yolks, milk, and heavy cream to the saucepan and whisk until combined.

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10-15 minutes).

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

In a 9×13 inch baking dish, layer vanilla wafers and sliced bananas.

Pour half of the pudding mixture over the banana and wafer layers.

Repeat the layers with the remaining vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and pudding mixture.

Top the pudding with whipped cream, if desired.

Bake the pudding for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Let the pudding cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

 

Tips for making banana pudding:

Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas will give your pudding a sweeter, more intense flavor.

Chill the pudding: To make sure your pudding sets properly, be sure to chill it for at least 4 hours before serving.

Layer the ingredients evenly: To ensure each bite has a good balance of bananas, wafers, and pudding, be sure to layer the ingredients evenly in the dish.

Top with whipped cream: For a finishing touch, add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each serving.

Use homemade pudding: While you can use instant pudding mix for convenience, making your own pudding from scratch will give your banana pudding a richer, creamier flavor.

baked salmon recipe

Print This Post Print This Post

Looking for an easy and healthy meal? Try this delicious baked salmon recipe, featuring fresh lemon and garlic. Ready in just 15 minutes, this dish is perfect for any weeknight dinner

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges and fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, making sure they are evenly coated.
  5. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Serve the salmon hot, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh parsley, if desired.

5 tips for making a delicious baked salmon:

  1. Choose fresh salmon: Fresh salmon tastes better than frozen salmon, so try to buy it fresh from a reputable fish market. Look for salmon that has bright, shiny skin and no visible blemishes.
  2. Use parchment paper: To prevent the salmon from sticking to the baking dish, line it with parchment paper. This will also make clean-up easier.
  3. Don’t overcook the salmon: Overcooking the salmon can make it dry and tough. Check the salmon after 12 minutes and remove it from the oven as soon as it starts to flake easily with a fork.
  4. Let the salmon rest: After removing the salmon from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the fish and make it more tender.
  5. Customize the marinade: You can easily customize the marinade to your liking. Try adding different herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, or using lime juice instead of lemon juice.

By following these tips, you can make a delicious baked salmon that is flavorful, moist, and perfectly cooked.
