Bread made from corn flour is considerably different than bread made from wheat flour. Corn flour bread has a different texture, and is sweet and moist with a bit of crunch. It's good for breakfast, but is especially delicious with a pot of hot chili.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 cup corn flour
  • 1 cup corn meal
  • 3 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

  2. Step 2

    Place the corn flour, corn meal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir to blend.

  3. Step 3

    Break the egg into a small mixing bowl and beat it lightly with a fork. Add the buttermilk and mix well.

  4. Step 4

    Stir the egg and milk into the dry ingredients and blend thoroughly.

  5. Step 5

    Oil a bread pan and pour the batter into the pan.

  6. Step 6

    Bake the bread for 25 to 30 minutes until it turns golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the loaf.

Tips & Warnings
  • The corn bread batter can also be turned into corn cakes. Form the mixture into a thin cake, and fry it on a hot, oiled griddle.
  • If you don't have corn flour, whole wheat flour can be substituted. However, don't attempt to substitute white flour.
  • Add 2 tbsp. sun dried tomato pesto to the batter to make savory Italian corn bread.
  • Whole milk can be substituted for buttermilk.
