The Pioneer Woman Cornbread with Creamed Corn Recipe is soft, moist and full of sweet corn flavor. This cornbread is perfect for family meals.
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup creamed corn canned or fresh
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter plus extra for greasing
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a cast iron skillet or baking dish with butter. This ensures the cornbread does not stick.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, add cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk together until evenly combined. This creates a light, airy base for the cornbread.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, combine creamed corn, milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Make sure the eggs are fully incorporated for even texture.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Slowly pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently using a spatula. Do not overmix to keep the cornbread soft and fluffy.
Pour Batter into Skillet
- Pour the batter into the greased skillet or baking dish. Spread evenly with a spatula. Tap lightly to remove air bubbles for a smooth top.
Bake the Cornbread
- Place the skillet in the oven. Bake for 30–35 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, the cornbread is done.
Cool Before Slicing
- Remove from the oven. Let the cornbread cool in the skillet for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack. Slice only when slightly cooled to avoid crumbling.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve warm with butter or honey. The creamy texture makes it perfect with soups, chili or roasted meats. Enjoy the sweet, soft cornbread immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh creamed corn for the best natural sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter; it keeps the cornbread soft.
- Grease the pan well to avoid sticking.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
- Add a pinch of chili powder for a subtle kick.
