Cornbread Sticks - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups buttermilk (room temperature)
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 egg
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, finely grated (can use more)
1/4 cup red bell pepper (can use green pepper or use both, very finely chopped)
Preparation
-
Set oven to 400\u00b0F.
Coat cast-iron stick molds liberally with oil.
In a bowl, mix together cornmeal, flour, dark sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
In another bowl whisk together buttermilk, melted butter and egg; add into the dry ingredients.
Add in the chopped bell pepper and shredded cheddar cheese; mix to combine (add in more buttermilk if needed to create a pourable consistency).
Place the oiled cast-iron molds in the oven for about 5 minutes (make certain to have the cornmeal batter ready to pour into the hot molds after 5 minutes).
Carefully remove the hot molds from oven and evenly divide/fill the batter between each mold.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the corn sticks test done (it might take more or less time depending on the size of molds).
Using a sharp knife, gently lift out the sticks from the molds.
