Cornbread

1 1/2 cups flour

1 cup yellow cornmeal

2 t. baking powder

1/4 t. baking soda

3/4 t. table salt

1/4 c. packed light brown sugar

3/4 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed

1 cup buttermilk

2 lg. eggs

8 T. butter, melted and cooled slightly

Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 8-inch pan w/nonstick spray. Whisk flour, cornmeal, salt, baking powder and baking soda in medium bowl until combined; set aside.

In food processor, process brown sugar, thawed corn kernels and buttermilk, until combined, about five seconds. Add eggs and process until well combined; about five seconds longer.

Using rubber spatula, make well in center of dry ingredients, pour wet ingredients into well. Begin folding dry ingredients into wet, giving mixture only a few turns to barely combine; add melted butter and continue folding until dry ingredients are just moistened. Pour batter into prepared dish; smooth surface with spatula. Bake until deep golden brown and toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, 25-30 minutes.

Pumpkin Bread

3 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup oil
1 1 pound can pumpkin
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon allspice
2/3 cup water
1 cup nuts
1 cup raisins

Combine sugar, oil and eggs; add pumpkin. Sift dry ingredients together. Add to pumpkin mixture. Add water, mix and bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes in 2 large greased loaf pans or 3 small pans, or different sized cans (for round bread). For a nice finishing touch, as soon as it’s out of the oven, brush a little butter over the top and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

I have made this recipe substituting 1/2 cup applesauce for 1/2 c. of the oil and cutting the sugar back to 1 1/2 cups. Obviously, it isn’t as sweet when the sugar is cut in half, but it is still very good! When I reduce the sugar and sub applesauce, I cut flour back to 3 1/4 c.
