White Lily Cornbread Recipe Ingredients

• Cornmeal. Cornmeal, or coarse corn flour, is made by grinding dried corn kernels into a powder. It adds an interesting crunch and flavor to the cornbread. It adds flavor and helps the cornbread stay together when cooking. Use white cornmeal if you want a more subtle flavor, and yellow if you want a more robust one.
• All-Purpose Flour. Cornbread made with all-purpose flour is lighter in texture and has a cake-like consistency thanks to the addition of the flour. You can get the best results by using either bleached or unbleached all-purpose flour.
• Sugar. Sugar gives the cornbread a pleasant sweetness and promotes a uniform golden brown color. For a subtle molasses flavor, try using light brown sugar.
• Baking Powder. Cornbread would not rise as much without the addition of baking powder, a leavening agent. For the best results, use baking powder that hasn’t expired.
• Salt. Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the flavor of anything else you’re cooking with and can also help to counteract the sugar’s overpowering sweetness. Use fine-grained salt, such as Kosher salt, to ensure that the seasoning is distributed uniformly in the finished product.
• Butter. Cornbread gets tender and flavorful with butter. One helpful hint is to use unsalted butter.
• Buttermilk. The buttermilk adds a pleasant tang and keeps the cornbread moist. Consider using low-fat buttermilk to make cornbread.
• Egg. The egg gives the cornbread its structure and consistency. Use Eggs at Room Temperature for Optimal Results.

Is White Lily Cornbread Gluten-free?

White lily cornbread contains all-purpose flour, which is not gluten-free. All-purpose flour can be replaced with gluten-free flour if that’s necessary.

What Is The Best Type Of Cornmeal For This Cornbread?

If you want your cornbread to turn out perfectly smooth, use fine-ground cornmeal like this one. Coarsely ground cornmeal may produce a more grainy and substantial end product.

What Can Be Used Instead Of Buttermilk In Cornbread?

Buttermilk can be substituted with sour cream, plain yogurt, or ordinary milk that has had a tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice added to it. Buttermilk can be replaced by simply combining the alternative with the other ingredients.

What Else Can I Add To This Cornbread To Make It More Flavorful?

To boost the flavor of the cornbread, you can add items like jalapeno peppers, diced onions, diced green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, or diced bacon. It is possible to alter the flavor of cornbread by including such ingredients as chili powder, cumin, or even garlic powder.
