Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons shortening or vegetable oil, for greasing the pan
- 1 cup cornmeal (yellow or white)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar (increase to ¼ cup for sweeter corn sticks)
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted shortening
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease two (6-cavity) corn stick pans with about 1 tablespoon of shortening or oil per pan. Place the greased pans in the hot oven to preheat for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add buttermilk, egg and melted shortening (or vegetable oil). Stir just until the batter comes together; do not over-mix.
- Carefully remove the hot corn stick pans from the oven. Fill each cavity with batter. Bake until slightly brown on top, about 14-16 minutes for larger corn sticks (in the 6-cavity pans) or 12-14 minutes for smaller corn sticks (in 7-cavity pans). Remove from pans immediately.
- If you have extra batter, you can grease one of the hot pans and bake another batch of corn sticks to use up the leftover batter.

Notes
- This recipe yields about 11-12 large corn sticks (when baked in 6-cavity corn stick pans) or about 18 smaller corn sticks (when baked in 7-cavity pans). The larger corn sticks require about 14-16 minutes in the oven, while the smaller corn sticks are done in about 12-14 minutes. The nutritional information provided is an estimate assuming a total of 11 corn sticks.
