Instant Pot Cornbread
Description
This cornbread recipe uses an egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, cornmeal, flour, sugars, baking soda and powder, salt, and fresh corn kernels. The batter is poured into a greased cake pan wrapped in foil to withstand the water bath in the Instant Pot, which cooks it under high pressure for 55 minutes.
The cornbread emerges moist with a smooth, soft texture from the pressure cooking process, different from typical baked cornbread. The corn kernels add bursts of sweetness and slight chew. The mixture of sugars balances savory and sweet notes.
Serve this cornbread alongside soups, stews, or barbecue dishes. It benefits from a drizzle of honey or butter. Cooling before slicing helps maintain shape. This method is helpful when avoiding oven use or when a moist texture is preferred.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal yellow
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
Instructions
- Spray a 7×3-inch cake pan with baking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg until fluffy. Add buttermilk and oil and whisk to combine.
- Add the flour, cornmeal, both sugars, kosher salt, baking soda and baking powder. Beat until smooth.
- Stir in the corn kernels.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan. Wrap the pan (top and bottom) in foil.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Place a trivet.
- If your trivet doesn't have handles, make a sling out of foil to lower the cake pna into the inner pot.
- Lock the lid and make sure the valve is pointed to “Sealing”.
- Cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 55 minutes. Once done, allow pressure to release manually for 15 minutes, then do a quick release.
- Remove the pan from the inner pot, and let the cornbread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
