Mini Loaf Cornbread Food

SWEET SOUTHERN CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place two 8-cavity mini loaf pans in the oven to heat up.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, cake flour, sugar and baking powder.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, eggs and salt to a uniform color. Quickly but gently fold the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. It should be a loose batter, not a dough.
• Carefully remove the loaf pans from the oven and quickly spray with cooking spray.
• Divide the batter evenly among 12 cavities of the loaf pans and bake until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 28 to 30 minutes. Rotate the pans 180 degrees halfway through baking.
• Immediately turn the cornbread loaves out of the pans onto a cooling rack to cool. This will also ensure they build a crisp crust.
