{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, hello! Greetings from Queens via Denver, where I am/was for soccer, with various children. Culinary highlights have included First Watch avocado toast and salads (in Denver) and Matsunori hand rolls (in Queens). I love these trips for the time with my children and the food explorations they offer, but β and I hate to complain β after eating every meal out for nearly a full week, I am so looking forward to being home for a Sunday night dinner in. My salt-swollen joints are looking...
Friends, hello! I'm popping into your inboxes a few days early this week to share some ideas for the July Fourth weekend ahead, starting with a very, very simple pasta salad. Last summer, I shared the "recipe": rotini + ciliegine mozzarella + cherry tomatoes + pesto. It takes no time to throw together, and everyone loves it. Last weekend, while visiting my sister for a small family reunion, she made the same salad but swapped in tortellini for the rotini. I hadn't eaten tortellini in ages,...
Friends, hello! Last week, I had mentioned I was in the process of updating a very old recipe on the blog: Nigella Lawson's Cheater's Danish Pastry/Croissant Dough. When I first discovered it, I found it revolutionary because it did not require the laborious lamination process used to make traditional croissants, yet it produced a pastry with that characteristic rich-but-light, exceptionally flaky texture. Unlike traditional recipes, this one calls for cold butter, and the dough comes...
