What You Need to Make Quaker Cornbread

How to Make Quaker Cornbread
- Preheat oven to 400F and grease an 8-inch square pan with butter or oil (you can also use a round pan). Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add in the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well-combined.

I tried this recipe and it’s really good.
Let me start by saying that I am born and raised in the South. This is not cornbread as I know it. It was more like a corny kind of sweet cake. It was good if you aren’t expecting actual cornbread. I couldn’t find Martha White Corn Meal in the local Target so I got Quaker brand instead. I made the first pan of cornbread as I usually do and it turned out really bad. Quaker Corn Meal is just different. So, after the horrible failure of my first go-around, I went in search of a recipe using this particular brand of cornmeal and found Michelle’s. I knew it wasn’t going to be what I was really wanting (southern cornbread) but since I had bought the Quaker Corn Meal I decided to try it. This recipe works great with the Quaker brand cornmeal and I will make it again. Just not when I am wanting real cornbread. I did as suggested and used some butter and honey on it and it was really good. Thanks for sharing a recipe I can use with this kind of cornmeal, otherwise, it was going in the trash.
Hey Beth! Thanks so much for your feedback! This recipe definitely isn’t your typical cornbread and, as you described, is more of a corn-based sweet cake. I’m glad you liked it and were able to make use of your Quaker Corn Meal 🙂 Adding butter and honey really does kick it up a notch!
