{New} Perfectly Moist and Sweet Cornbread π½π Plus My Favorite Scones, Egg Bakes, & Other Mother's Day Treats
|
Friends, good morning! As noted last week, I have been working on a cornbread recipe. A while ago, one of you sent me the New York Times Rich and Buttery Corn Muffin recipe, which I made and loved, but which needed a little tweaking for the bread format. I wanted more corn flavor, and I wanted the bread to be a little less rich, so I experimented with replacing the sour cream with buttermilk, reducing the melted butter and sugar, and using less flour. In the end, we all loved the sour cream version more, which was shocking to me as I love all things buttermilk. I've shared the full list of changes I've made to the original muffin recipe here, but in sum this variation calls for a little less flour, sugar, and melted butter, the addition of olive oil, and a teensy bit more salt. My family has been loving this cornbread, and I hope you all give it a go soon. Itβs quick to assemble, bakes in 20 minutes, and reheats well on subsequent days, so donβt be afraid to make it ahead of time. Below I've shared a few of my favorite sweet treats should you be baking for a mother figure in your life this weekend. Have a great weekend, Friends!

Thank you for sharing!!" β Terry PS: I love this recipe and I love its assembly, which is a one-bowl job and calls for a clever mixing method to ensure you have blueberries bursting in every bite. Thanks to both olive oil and yogurt, it is exceptionally moist and stays so for days. Finally, rubbing the lemon zest into the sugar makes the citrus flavor really shine!

Friends, good morning from Vermont βοΈβοΈβοΈ I am here for a mini family reunion, our Greek Easter postponed from April, when nobody's schedules would align. Yesterday, my cousin made spanakopita, we grilled lamb chops, and the kids dyed eggs for the Tsougrisma, the post-dinner egg-cracking game. My cousin's husband Ian β yes Ian!* β won and has been granted good luck and prosperity for the year. I've been watching World Cup games all day long and hanging with Homer: This week, I had planned to...
Friends, hello! What a week it has been. On Wednesday, I happened to be in NYC, the night of the last Knicks playoff game. I was having dinner with a friend, and as we left the restaurant, the hostess looked dejected, sharing that the Knicks were "down like 30 points." I walked to my hotel and went to bed. I awoke to see the news and felt supremely disappointed in that decision. Last night, in an abundance of caution, I stayed up till the final whistle of the USMNT's game (!!!) despite being...
Hi, Friends. Earlier this week, I went to my little wine store to buy vodka for tomato sauce. The recipe I use calls for white wine or vodka, but I almost always use vodka to avoid opening a bottle of wine for the half cup I need. As I scanned the shelves, I noted this to my friend Julie, who works at the shop, and she quickly directed me to their selection of mini wines. It has never occurred to me to buy mini bottles of wine for any purpose, and I found the suggestion brilliant. What's...
