Sweet cornbread recipe

My husbands favorite meal is pinto beans and cornbread. He really loves his cornbread sweet. I used to buy the packaged corn muffin mix and just add a little sugar to it, it was pretty good. Then one day I decided to try a home made cornbread. I didn't have a recipe but I knew I wanted it to be thick, fluffy and sweet. After trying four or five different batches of cornbread I finally got one he loved and so did the rest of my family.
 I did not use all organic ingredients, but everything I picked was non GMO, no msg and a very low amount of perservatives. I would say if you could at least use organic corn meal that would be the most important part(around 90% of corn and soy produced in America is genetically modified. So make sure on the label is says NON GMO) you also want to stay away from MSG, so just read the labels before you buy :) this recipe is not dairy free, and it is not gluten free, however you can easily make it gluten free by buying gluten free flour and cornmeal, all my other ingredients were gluten free.

Serving size 1 round pie pan
You can split the batter into two pans to make a thin cornbread. If you do that you won't have to bake it near as long so keep an eye on it so it doesn't get too done

Ingredients:
1 1/2 Cups of cornmeal
1/3 Cups Flour (all purpose)
1 1/4 Tsp sea salt
4 Tsp baking powder
1 Cup of 2% milk
1 brown egg
2 Tablespoons of sugar
2 Tablespoons of butter(UN salted) melted
1 pinch of sugar(for top)

Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees

Butter a round glass pie pan and set aside



Mix together all the dry ingredients in a bowl(accept for the pinch of sugar)
Add egg and milk and stir until blended
Melt your butter, and add to the batter, mix until blended
Pour batter into the pie pan and sprinkle a pinch of sugar over top

Bake at 400 degrees on middle or bottom rack  until edges and top of cornbread are slightly brown and crisp and a toothpick comes out clean when stuck in the center (I am bad about timing when I bake, next time I will set a timer to give you a idea of about how long, so for now just watch it very closely!)  the corn bread will puff up and separate a little, this is okay!

If you do not like your cornbread sweet then you can leave out the sugar and just add the pinch of sugar to it :) but its the best with the sugar!

Enjoy!
