Basic Corn Sticks Food

CORNBREAD STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place two 7-stick cast-iron corn stick molds in the oven to heat at least 15 minutes. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat until it foams. Toss in the jalapeno, scallions and garlic. Saute until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with a little salt. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk and egg lightly in a small bowl until combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture all at once. Stir the two mixtures together just until combined. Add the jalapeno mixture to the bowl along with any butter in the pan. Add the cheddar cheese and stir to combine (the batter will be thick).
• Remove the hot pans from the oven and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter. Divide the batter among the molds, then place back into the oven and bake 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden and springy to the touch.

EASY BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C | 400F and position a rack in the middle. Lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or 9-inch square baking dish with butter and place skillet/dish into the oven to heat up. (Alternatively for cast iron skillets: heat 1/2 cup of unmelted butter in your cast iron over stove top on medium heat until melted, turn heat off then allow the butter to cool slightly before adding to the batter.)
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder (If using), baking soda and salt.
• Make a well in the centre and add the buttermilk, honey and eggs. Mix together well to combine, then add in the slightly cooled melted butter. Mix again until 'just' combined (don't over mix).
• Carefully remove your 'hot' pan or dish from the oven with oven mitts, and pour the batter into the hot skillet or dish. Listen to that sizzle! That's what you want.
• Bake until the cornbread begins to brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean (about 20-23 minutes). Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

EASY MEXICAN STREET CORN

Steps:

• Heat your grill to roughly 400 degrees F.
• You can grill the corn with the husks on or off. I took the husks off to ensure that I got some nice grill marks on the corn and because I feel like it gives it a nice grilled flavor. FOR HUSKS ON: let your corn soak in water for 10 minutes before grilling. FOR HUSKS OFF: lightly spray spray each cob with cooking spray.**
• Place the corn on the grill and grill for roughly 12 minutes, turning the cobs 1/4 turn every 3 minutes.
• Mix the topping sauce by stirring together the Cacique® Crema Mexican Agria Sour Cream, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, garlic, lime zest and juice, and cilantro.
• Generously top each corn cob with the cheese mixture, sprinkle with a bit of chipotle chili powder, and top with a bit of extra cotija cheese and cilantro.
• ENJOY!

CORNSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and, using a rubber spatula, lightly mix until a thick batter is formed. Stir in the melted butter until just incorporated. Heat the cast-iron mold in the oven until hot. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and brush cornstick slots with butter. Spoon the batter evenly into the slots. Bake until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of a cornstick comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly. Using a small knife, pop each cornstick from its slot and serve warm.

CORNBREAD STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease two cornstick pans liberally with vegetable shortening (I prefer using this to baking spray, because it remains more stable at high temperatures). Alternately, you may also use a muffin pan, popover pan, or cast-iron skillet.
• Combine the rice milk and lemon juice. Set aside.
• Whisk together the flour mix, cornmeal, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a large bowl.
• Add the rice milk mixture and stir to combine. Add the egg replacer and melted shortening. Stir a couple of times until smooth. Fill the cornstick molds two-thirds full. Smooth the tops so the batter fills the mold. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden. Turn out immediately onto a cooling rack, or better yet, into a bread basket to be passed at the table. Serve warm.
