Herb Olive Oil Cornbread Recipes

HERBED CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the cornmeal to a large bowl along with the flour, baking powder, salt, basil, sage and thyme and stir together.
• Measure the buttermilk in a measuring cup, add the whole milk and egg and stir together with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons shortening in the microwave and slowly add to the batter, stirring constantly until combined.
• In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and shortening. Pour the batter into the hot skillet, spread to even out the surface and cook over high heat for 1 minute. Then get it into the oven straightaway and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. The edges should be crispy.

HERBED CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-4 1/2-inch metal loaf pan and set aside.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, granulated garlic and salt in a large bowl and set aside. Place the corn in a small bowl, then take 1 tablespoon of the cornbread mixture and sprinkle it over the corn; toss to combine. Sift out any excess powder from the corn and set aside.
• Whisk together the butter, buttermilk and eggs in a medium bowl.
• Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and mix until smooth, then fold in the scallions, basil, dill and corn. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden brown and the center bounces back when lightly pressed with a finger, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely, then slide a knife around the edges and invert the bread onto a plate.
