Description
This Best Navajo Cornbread is hearty, rustic, and easy to make using simple pantry ingredients. With classic cornmeal flavor, a tender crumb, and a lightly crisp edge, it is perfect for soups, stews, chili, or serving warm with butter.
Ingredients
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking dish or cast iron skillet.
2. Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
3. Whisk together the milk, eggs, and oil or melted butter in a separate bowl.
4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until a thick batter forms.
5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and set.
7. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
This cornbread is hearty rather than sweet.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the texture tender.
Best served warm but stores well for later.
