Bobby Flay Cornbread Recipe

This Bobby Flay Cornbread Recipe is a moist and fluffy recipe, which is made with yellow cornmeal and sugar. It’s the perfect side dish for any BBQ, ready in about 35 minutes.

Bobby Flay Cornbread Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• ⅔ cup white sugar
• 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg

How To Make Cornbread

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and the egg.
4. Mix the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk just until the batter is combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
5. Pour and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy your fresh, warm cornbread!

Recipe Tips

• How to avoid dry cornbread? The most important rule is do not overmix the batter. Whisk just until the wet and dry ingredients are combined. Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour and will make the cornbread tough and dense.
• Can I make this in a cast-iron skillet? Yes! This is the best way to get a crispy, crunchy crust. Place the greased 9-inch cast-iron skillet into the oven while it preheats. When the oven is hot, carefully remove the hot skillet, pour the batter in (it should sizzle!), and bake as directed.
• Is this cornbread sweet or savory? This is a classic “Northern-style” cornbread, which is sweet and cake-like due to the ⅔ cup of sugar. For a more “Southern-style” savory cornbread, you can reduce the sugar significantly (to 1-2 tablespoons) or omit it.
• Can I use butter instead of oil? Yes. You can replace the ⅓ cup of oil with ⅓ cup of melted butter. Oil tends to make a slightly moister, more tender crumb, while butter will add a richer flavor.

What To Serve With Cornbread

How To Store Cornbread

• Room Temperature: Store the cornbread tightly covered in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature. It’s best eaten within 2-3 days.
• Freeze: This cornbread freezes well. Wrap the entire loaf or individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
