I'm behind in my bread baker's apprentice challenge, but slowly catching up. I made cornbread yesterday, which is the best cornbread I've made, and that's even with a huge 'goof' in it. I was in a hurry, and I completely forgot to add the mixture of buttermilk and cornmeal that had been sitting out. The cornbread was still moist and had great flavor.
I'm making more of it today to take to a big party... this time, I won't forgot! The recipe uses cornmeal, buttermilk, eggs, sugar, salt, honey, butter, flour, corn, and bacon, and I added jalapeno from my garden.
I started with corn cut fresh off the cob from a local farmer:
Put wet and dry together, and add jalapeno:
Bacon is crisped, and a couple of tablespoons of bacon fat are used to line the cast iron (recipe called for cake pan, but cast iron is my preference). Bacon pieces are just added to the top:
Even without the buttermilk, everyone loved the cornbread:
