"Beth beth beth you make better corn bread than anyone else in the world"




INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted


DIRECTIONS
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Combine the egg, sour cream, milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
2. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm.


*I added more sugar to taste and more milk to make the batter thinner like a brownie mix... It added to the cooking time by about 20 minutes, the last 10 at 350. At least in my oven.

My first time ever making cornbread and it was so good I couldn't believe it.

PIZZA PIZZA!

PIZZA DOUGH
- 3 C flour
- 1 t. salt
- 1 T or 1 pkg yeast dissolved in 1/4 C warm water
- 1 C cold water & 1 T olive oil mixed

In mixer or bread machine, blend altogether. Let rest for 20 min. Knead and roll out and let rise again for 10 min. Spread with oil or sauce, toppings, cheese.

Bake 425 for 25 min. Cover pizza dish with sprinkled cornmeal before spreading out dough. A little tip: the stickier the dough the crispier the crust.

BARBECUE CHICKEN PIZZA

Crust of your choice.
Barbecue sauce,
chicken,
cilantro,
mozzarella,
Gouda cheese,
sliced fresh tomatoes.
Yum.

HAWAIIAN PIZZA

Crust of your choice.
For the sauce, I like to make it with a can of petite diced tomatoes, some canned tomato sauce, some tomato paste, sugar and spices.
After I roll out the crust, I brush olive oil on the edges and salt and pepper the edges.
Spread sauce, add cut up
ham/canadian bacon,
pineapple chunks and
mozzarella cheese on top.
A dash of cinnamon is also awesome... may sound crazy, but trust me.
