Cornbread recipe as promised
This is a carry over from my typepad blog, and I promised the recipe but am just now getting to posting it. If you have read the post just skip down to the recipe, if not, continue reading.
In attempt to get back to at least one of my hobbies, I baked up
some cornbread this weekend. I have a serious love and/or obsession
with cornbread. My mom made it occasionally growing up, and sorry mom,
but I just wasn't a fan. It was usually dry and most likely something
she improvised on to make it "healthy" or "low fat". It wasn't until I
moved to New York that I discovered how incredibly satisfying cornbread
could actually be. I enjoyed a cornbread muffin wrapped in tinfoil
from the local diner toasted and smothered with butter almost every
morning for the first year I lived there (and I wonder why I gained 10
that year).
And for my bestest work friends who equally share my love of cornbread.
And the recipe
Heat oven to 350 - spray 9x13 pan
Mix together:
3 eggs
1 1/2 C milk
2 cubes melted butter
3 C bisquick
1/2 C cornmeal
1 C sugar
3/4 t baking powder
Bake 25 minutes or until toothpick coes out clean.
Gently poke bread with toothpick a ton of times. Melt
1 cube butter with 1/2 C honey and pour over the bread.
Eat when warm if possible, its the best! Thanks again Andi!!

no wonder it's good - it has 3 freakin cubes of butter in it!
oh good, i've been needing something lighter to eat now that all my truffles are gone. . .
hehe at mom's cornbread. If it were here I would actually point at it and laugh at it, but it's not (since I don't often bring home made corn bread to work with me), so I just laugh to myself/on your blog. I thought corn bread was supposed to be dry? That was why you load on the jam or the honey to give it flavor. Right? No. Hmm. All this time. I hope you are enjoying that new kitchen. That sounds like a threat but I really just hope you are... or else.... ha I suddenly got the song from Alice in Wonderland in my head. Of course the only part I know is "Jaaaaam", done so in that wobbly voice of the White Queen (Carol Channing. And yes I had to look that up because I don't have the memory you do. Which probably means the only part of the song I think I remember isn't even part of the song).
Cornbread!
now tara's got me singing "jam tomorrow jam yesterday, but never never jam today" which is appropriate, since that alice in wonderland is one of the earlier things i remember bonding over with you. i can't wait to see you!!! hurry hurry!
uh... maybe you should call it butter bread? hello! no wonder it's delicious. THREE CUBES?!
do you bake it in an 8x8 pan? or did you fill that pan and the 2 loaf pans as well.
