Maple Cornbread
Maple Cornbread is subtly sweet with layers of warm maple flavor. It makes your holiday menu complete, it's an anytime snack, and it turns a pot of chili into a feast.
Servings: 9 -12 servings
Equipment
- 9x9 baking pan
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 1 cup corn meal
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup maple sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, or whole milk
- 1/4 cup dark maple syrup
- 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F Lightly spray a 9x9 baking pan. I like to line it with parchment paper so I can lift it out for slicing, but that's optional.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl to remove any lumps and distribute the baking powder and salt well.
- Whisk the wet ingredients together in another bowl.
- Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and mix just until combined...lumps are fine.
- Turn the batter into your prepared pan and spread out evenly.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then turn down the temperature to 350F and continue cooking for another 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Try not to over bake. Let cool on a rack for 10 -15 minutes before removing from the pan with the parchment paper sling. You can slice the bread while it is warm, or wait for it to cool, it's your choice. I like it while it's still warm.
- Serve with butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
Cornbread tends to dry out quickly once cut, so don't slice it until you're ready to enjoy.
Keep leftovers wrapped in plastic at room temperature.
