REALLY GOOD CORN BREAD & HONEY BUTTER

RECIPES THAT TAKE THE CAKE, MAKE THE GRADE AND GIVE YOU THE FEELING THAT YOU’RE MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

Here is a recipe that will take you back to your roots or least back to a simpler time when people used to sit around on their porches at night after dinner, remembering the great corn bread they had just eaten, singing and playing the banjo and thinking about the good night's sleep ahead. Actually, I have no idea if that's what people used to do but it sounds good and it makes a good introduction to a recipe for corn bread, don't you think? Average, ordinary corn bread is probably one of the simplest breads to make, and good corn bread isn't all that hard to make, either. It goes well with a lot of different things, but probably goes best with chili. They seem to be made for each other. Here is the recipe I like the best:

1 can of creamed corn

2 eggs

1 C. flour

1 C. corn meal

1 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. sugar

1 Tbsp. baking powder

1. Put the cream style corn in the blender with the eggs and blend well. Put this in a mixing bowl.

2. Add the dry ingredients and stir with a wire whip until well blended.

3. Spray a loaf pan and heat the oven to 350 degrees.

4. Spread the batter in the loaf pan, put in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Meanwhile make the honey butter.

a. Take a large marshmallow and melt it in the microwave, approximately 15- 20 seconds.

b. In a bowl, soften one cube of butter ( you can use margarine but it's not as g good.)

c. Add 1/2 C. honey, 1 tsp. vanilla and the melted marshmallow. Whip it all together.

d. Set aside to spread on the corn bread when it has finished baking.

6. Take the corn bread out of the oven when it has finished baking. Turn it onto a wire rack and allow to cool just enough to slice it.

7. Serve immediately with the honey butter. Delicious! Serves 5-8. Enjoy!
