- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 11
- Yields:
-
8 wedges
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups cornmeal (yellow and ground)
- 1⁄2 cup flour (I used spelt)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (I used Z-Sweet powdered sugar substitute)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs (I used nu-laid egg substitute)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted and I used Earth Balance margarine)
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, or frozen, thawed and drained)
directions
- Preheat oven to 450'F.
- Pour the oil into a seasoned cast iron skillet and place in the oven. Let the skillet heat up until very hot. I noticed mine was smoking when I removed it, so that means its very hot. When done, remove the pan from the oven and pour off any excess oil.
- While the oil is heating, in a mixing bowl, sift together the corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
- Stir in the buttermilk, eggs and melted butter, stirring until just mixed. Stir in the corn kernels. Pour the batter into the hot skillet and return to the oven.
- Reduce the heat to 400'F.
- Bake the bread until golden brown on top. Use a skewer to test the center of the bread. If it comes out clean it is done. Cool the skillet on a wire rack for about 5 minutes and then turn out onto a large plate and cut into wedges. This makes about 8 wedges.
- Bon Appetit!

I was born in northern Ontario in Canada. I am of Irish /Spanish/French Canadian descent.
In 2002, myself, my hubby Stu, and our dog Ginger moved to the high desert of New Mexico.
I am a Domestic Engineer and a Professional Artist. I enjoy oldies, classical and jazz music.
My hubby is a Professional Jazz and Classical Musician. He plays with the Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra which is wonderful because I get to see all his concerts and they are free!
We are trying our best to live a Green and Sustainable lifestyle which is no easy feat in a desert.
I love any cookbook that promotes good health and tasty meals. I enjoy pasta dishes and sweet vegan deserts. I have found that I am very successful in converting conventional recipes to vegan. This has allowed me to enjoy all types of foods that I other wise could not.
Some day we would like to relocate to upstate New York and be closer to my family in Canada and my husbands in New York. My DH retires in 9 years, so nothing will stop us from heading home then :-)
