Served warm with butter...delicious!
You didn’t think I was *really* done when I said I was done with Superbowl recipes, did you? Here’s a bonus recipe for you for Homemade Corn Bread. It goes great with the chili, or with BBQ or, just by itself. I usually double mine, especially if we have more than just the five of us to feed. Below is the single recipe.
I got this recipe out of the “Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book” a few years back, and of course it’s super fast and easy. On the back of the cookbook it says “Updated for the 90’s.” Apparently this book was new to me about 12 years ago.
**As an added bonus to this bonus recipe, see the note about Honey Butter below.**
INGREDIENTS
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup yellow, white or blue cornmeal
2 to 4 TBL sugar (I did 6 TBL for the double recipe.)
1 TBL baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup cooking oil
There's a wealth of information and recipes in here!
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a mixing bowl stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a separate bowl beat together milk, oil, eggs.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir til batter is smooth.
Pour into greased 9×9 dish (I used 9×13 for double batch)
Bake in 425 oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
Single recipe makes 8-9 servings
**HONEY BUTTER**
For a single recipe of corn bread, soften- but don’t melt- about half a stick of butter in a small bowl. Add in about a teaspoon of honey, mix well. Delicious when spread on the hot corn bread! (In a last minute hurry? “Soften” your butter in the microwave by heating for 15-30 seconds or until soft enough to mix.)
The Whole bag of Chips 
You should see my poor Better Homes cookbook! It has been so lovingly used that many of the pages are falling out! I love cornbread, and have considered this recipe many times. The only thing that has kept me from making it is that hubby isn’t a big fan. I just bought a box of Jiffy to see if the girls like it. If they do, it gives me the perfect opportunity to try this recipe. . . and not have to finish all of it by myself!
