Roasted Sweet Corn Bread
Recipe Information
Total Time: 40 minutes; 20 minutes active
Servings: 9
Ingredients
1 ear of sweet corn (2 if small)
1 cup unbleached flour
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 large eggs
Preparation
To roast the corn, heat the oven to 400°F., and place the husked corn on an oiled sheet pan. Roast, turning every 5 minutes until the corn is browned and soft. Let cool and then cut the kernels from the cob. You should get about 1 cup.
For the cornbread, heat the oven to 400°F. Butter or grease an 8-inch square metal pan. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt, and whisk to combine. Place the yogurt, melted butter, and eggs in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Pour the yogurt mixture over the cornmeal mixture and stir until almost mixed, then add the roasted corn and stir just until the ingredients are combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out with no wet batter attached. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving. Cut 3 by 3 to make 9 squares.
Serving Suggestion
Cornbread is always a treat, but when you have some leftover grilled corn, you have a fantastic addition to a pan of golden goodness. The one makes a great side for beans, soups, and greens.
