Buttery Cornbread
The Starving Chef
When served fresh, this buttery cornbread is crumbly and moist; but when served after cooling, it's truly something spectacular.

- 1 cup flour
- 1 ¼ cup yellow corn meal
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg whisked
- ½ cup butter 1/4 cup melted, 1/4 cup for greasing & serving
- ½ cup sweet corn canned or fresh
- 1 tablespoons baking powder
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Grease a bread pan or 9x9 square pan with butter. Melt 1/4 cup of butter until just liquefied.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, corn meal, baking powder and salt. Stir in the sweet corn kernels. In a smaller bowl, beat together the egg and milk then pour into the dry ingredients.
Pour the batter into the greased pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Dot the top of the bread with the remaining butter so that it melts into the bread.
Serve hot OR let cool overnight (covered, but not refrigerated). Just prior to serving reheat the bread in the oven at 350 F for 8-10 minutes - until it's warmed through but isn't piping hot. Enjoy!
