How to Make Aunt Jemima Cornbread

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and oil (and melted butter, if using).
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for a few minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
