Obama Inauguration Cornbread

In reality this is a creamed corn (Watties?) cornbread recipe but the name needed a more American twang so I bring to you for the first time ever, Internet, the recipe for Obama Inauguration Cornbread.

Ingredients
2 cups of yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking  powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 cup of (Watties?) creamed corn
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Method
Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F (hot, eh?)

Place a 25cm/10in cast-iron skillet into the oven.

Whisk together the dry ingredients in a bowl, making sure they are well combined: cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder and baking soda.

In a large bowl unite the buttermilk and eggs then introduce the creamed corn and whisk to thoroughly combine.

Mix the dry ingredients into the buttermilk concoction. Add more buttermilk if the batter is too thick and won’t pour.

Carefully put the vegetable oil in the heated cast-iron skillet, giving it a bit of a swirl. Pour the batter into the skillet. Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back when touched – about 20 minutes.

Grab some friends and serve up the Obama Inauguration Cornbread with bowls of beans or hot chilli, a cold Epic beer and a few cowboy jokes.

… And just as soon as I’ve baked me this bread, this post will be served up with pictures!
