Once the skillet is heated nicely, take it out from the oven and pour the cornbread mixture in it. Using a wooden spatula, distribute it evenly in the skillet. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the edges of the cornbread start to turn brown. You can check if the cornbread is done by inserting a toothpick in the center of the bread.
If it comes out clean, your cornbread is ready. Take the skillet out of the oven. Be careful while lifting the skillet as it will be very hot! Let the bread cool down for about 10 30 minutes and then cut into pieces. Serve!

3) Cornbread with Beans
Preparation Time: 30 minutes Cooking Time: 2 hours Ready In: 2 and a half hours Servings: 8 slices INGREDIENTS: 1 cup Yellow Corn Meal 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup m ilk 1 cup buttermilk 1 whole egg 1/2 teaspoon baking s oda 1 tablespoon baking powder 4 slices thick bacon 4 cups pinto b eans 1 teaspoon s alt 1/4 cup s hortening and an extra 2 tablespoons 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons ground black pepper DIRECTIONS: Start with the beans. Wash the beans once by washing completely with cool water. Then pour the rinsed beans in a pot filled with 2 3 inches of water. Place this pot of beans and water on high heat and bring to a boil.
When water starts to boil, reduce the heat and cover the pot. Let the beans become tender in boiled water over simmer heat for about 2 hours. The final broth with beans should be thick but not completely dry so add water as needed. 5 minutes before removing from heat, add salt and pepper to the beans. To suit your taste you could add chili powder and garlic if you prefer. Remove from heat when done.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile, heat the shortening in a saucepan over medium heat. In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt and cornmeal. In a separate bowl mix the egg, buttermilk and milk. Mix this wet mixture with the dry mixture and stir nicely so that no lumps remain. Now add the baking powder and baking soda to this mixture and stir again.
Add the heated shortening to this mixture stirring constantly. Pour the cornmeal mixture into a deep skillet (9 x 13 inch) and spread evenly with a spatula. Bake for 20 25 minutes or until the edges of the cornbread start to turn brown. You can check if the cornbread is done by inserting a toothpick in the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, your cornbread is ready. Take the skillet out of the oven.
Be careful while lifting the skillet as it will be very hot! Let the bread cool down for about 10 30 minutes and then cut into pieces. In a large serving dish pour some ready beans. Place a piece of the cornbread on the top. You can serve this dish with a bowl of grated cheese, chopped jalapenos or onions or even a bowl of sour cream.
4) Cornbread raised with Yeast
Preparation Time: 30 minutes Cooking Time: 2 hours Ready In: 2 and a half hours Servings: 2 standard loaves INGREDIENTS: 1 1/2 cup cornmeal 4 cups white whole wheat flour 1 package active dry yeast 3 ext ra-large eggs, room temperature 2/3 cup chopped chives 1/4 cup olive oil 3 tablespoons honey 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn, if frozen defrosted to room temp 1 1/2 teaspoons fine grained sea salt 1 cup warm water 1 tablespoon each of Cornmeal and olive oil for preparing 2 loaf pans DIRECTIONS: Whisk together the cornmeal, flour and salt in a bowl and keep aside. In a large bowl pour the warm water and dissolve the yeast in it.
To this add about 2/3 of the cornmeal mixture, honey, 2 eggs, olive oil, chives and corn and start kneading to form soft dough like consistency. You can even put all these ingredients in a automatic dough maker. Keep kneading till your dough is tacky, adding more cornmeal mix when needed. The dough should clear the sides of the bowl but stick to the bottom. When the bowl is ready, rub it a little with olive oil and place it in a large bowl greased with olive oil. Cover it with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and set it aside for an hour to allow it to rise to almost double its size.
Now prepare your loaf pans by greasing with olive oil and dusting with cornmeal. Tap out any extra cornmeal. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts and place in the loaf pans and preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Just before placing the dough in the oven, brush the outer surface of the dough with the remaining egg (beaten) and sprinkle it with cornmeal. Bake for about 2 hours or until the loaves turn golden brown. Check if they are done completely by inserting a sharp knife in the center of each loaf.
