White cornmeal gives this cornbread a lighter color while apple juice sweetens the taste naturally.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 C. of white cornmeal
  • 3/4 C. of all-purpose unbleached flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 Tbs. sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 Tbs. vegetable oil
  • 1 C. apple juice
  • 1 C. fresh white corn kernels, cut off cob or frozen kernels

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Place a 9" cast-iron skillet in the oven and let it heat while making the batter. In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the oil and the apple juice until well blended. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir in the corn. Pour a little vegetable oil in the preheated skillet and swirl to coat it. Spoon in the batter and bake until golden on top, about 25 minutes.

Variation: Cornbread with Herbs: Prepare the batter as above and add 2 Tbs. chopped red onion and 1 Tbs. chopped fresh dill when adding the corn kernels. Proceed as directed.

Yield: 4-6 servings
