Sweet Potato Buttermilk Cornbread Food

SWEET POTATO CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Then line a 9×9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or generously coat the pan with baking spray. Note: you can also use a large (at least 10-12 inches) cast iron skillet or a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Then set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Whisk thoroughly to fully combine and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and mashed sweet potato/puree together until fully combined. Then pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to fold everything together until just combined.
• Lastly, pour in the melted butter and fold it within the batter until combined. Empty the batter into the prepared baking dish and use an offset spatula to smooth out the top, if necessary.
• Bake the cornbread for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean. Allow the cornbread to cool down for 10 minutes before cutting into.
• Slice the cornbread into wedges and serve immediately with extra pats of butter, drizzled honey or alaga/sorghum syrup, if desired. Enjoy!

SWEET POTATO (QUEEN) CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Mom's is the ultimate example of a life well-lived. I am in total awe of her. She's smart, accomplished, beautiful-inside and out-loving, courageous, and bubbling over with the sheer joy of living.
• It's been an easy fifty years for Dad, clearly. To further endear her to me personally, she and her friends turn out some excellent eats! Mom herself makes this sweet potato cornbread that is worth driving all the way to Mountain Pine, Arkansas, for, but you won't have to-here's how you do it.
• Mix together this dry stuff: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup sugar.
• Separetely, mix together this wet stuff: 3 sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed (or you may use 1 16 ounce can of sweet potatoes, and in this recipe, it really is okay not to use home-cooked ones, I would tell you if it mattered), 2 eggs, 6 tablespoons milk, and 3 tablespoons oil.
• Then mix the dry stuff and the wet stuff, just until it's all moist (don't beat it to death), then put it in greased muffin tins and bake at 425 until done-usually about 15 to 20 minutes.
