Equipment

  • Hand-held or stand mixer with a mixing bowl
  • 8"x8" glass baking dish

Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal medium grind
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1 cup creamed corn canned or homemade
  • ⅔ cup cream cheese softened or whipped
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the butter in an 8×8 baking dish (or similar size) and melt in the oven for approximately 5 minutes.
  • While the butter is melting, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, creamed corn, cream cheese, and optional sugar in a medium-sized mixing bowl until well combined.
  • Pour the melted butter from the baking dish into the mixing bowl and mix again.
  • Pour the cornbread batter into the baking pan or skillet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until the cornbread's edges are crisp and the top is golden. (To check if the cornbread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, it's ready.)
  • Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes to make slicing easier. After resting, slice, serve, and enjoy!
