Corn Bread for Stuffing

Makesabout 4 cups
November 1990
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • In a bowl stir together the flour, the cornmeal, the baking powder, and the salt. In a small bowl whisk together the milk, the egg, and the butter, and stir the mixture into the cornmeal mixture, stirring until the batter is just combined. Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch-square baking pan and bake the corn bread in the middle of a preheated 425°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is pale golden and a tester comes out clean. Let the corn bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, invert it onto a rack, and let it cool completely.
  • Crumble the corn bread coarse into 2 shallow baking pans and toast it in the middle of a preheated 325°F oven, stirring occasionally, for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until it is dried and deep golden.
