Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Canned creamed corn
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ground allspice, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together until the dry ingredients are well mixed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until everything is combined; do not overmix.
Add the canned creamed corn into the batter and gently fold it in until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Optionally, sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for a vibrant garnish before serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or alongside your favorite Caribbean-inspired dishes.
