Golden Sweet Cornbread

I found this recipe online but made a few changes for taste and texture. I made it with Vance's preschool class this week and served them warm with honey butter. They loved it!!!! Super fast and super easy.

1 c all purpose flour
1 c yellow corn meal
1/2 to 2/3 c sugar (depending on how sweet you like it!)
1 tsp salt
2 t baking powder
1 egg
1 c milk
1/3 c vegetable oil
1 Tbls melted butter
Optional: 2/3 c corn or creamed corn and/or 1/2 tsp vanilla

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray or lightly grease a 9 inch round cake pan or line muffin pan with 12 muffin papers.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking powder. Stir in egg, milk, vegetable oil and butter until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes for 9 inch round cake pan, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Bake abt 16 minutes for muffins.

bread/pizza

I love this recipe it never fails and tastes great! Soy lecithin is the "secret" ingredient...it stores indefinitely and would be great for your food storage item. When I make it I half it (my mixer only can hold 6 Cups of flour...bummer) but for dinner I'll make pizza with half the dough and the other half I'll make cinnamon rolls. The recipe is as follows:

10 1/2 c bread flour (I use wheat sometimes)
1/2 c sugar
1 T salt
3 T SAF instant yeast (it is important to use saf so you don't have to let it cure, you just throw it in with the other ingredients)
3 T liquid lecithin (do not measure it's too sticky eyeball 4 quarter size globs)
4 c water

Mix dry ingredients and yeast add lecithin and water. Mix for 1 min. and check consistency. If dough is too dry add more water. Dough should be very sticky. Mix for 5 min. on high. Do NOT add anymore flour after! Spray counter and pan with Pam. Shape loves and cover with a dish towel. Let raise for 25 min.
bake at 350 degrees for 25 min. for bread loaves but 12-15 min for rolls or cinnamon rolls.
pizza bake @ 400 degrees for 12 min. do not let raise.
