Aunt Jemima Cornbread
Description
This cornbread recipe features a balanced batter of cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, beaten egg, and vegetable oil. Mixing dry ingredients first and then wet ingredients produces a smooth batter poured into a greased pan. Baking at 425°F yields a golden crust and a moist interior with a clean crumb structure.
The flavor profile is mildly sweet with the characteristic cornmeal nuttiness, complemented by a soft, moist crumb that holds together when sliced. The method is straightforward, producing reliable results for a classic cornbread perfect for pairing with stews, chili, or barbecue dishes.
The baking sheet method allows for even heat distribution and a crispy edge. Cooling slightly before slicing helps firm the cornbread for serving.
Leftover cornbread keeps well at room temperature in an airtight container for several days, maintaining its texture and flavor.
