Sweet & Savory Caramel Cornbread

Crunchy Caramel Cornbread

Today I’m excited to share a unique twist on a classic dish that’s perfect for cozy nights by the fire or gatherings with friends. This Crunchy Caramel Cornbread combines the sweetness of caramel with the crunch of cornbread for a delightful and unexpected flavor experience.

Ingredients:

• cornmeal (200g)
• flour (100g)
• brown sugar (150g)
• baking powder (10g)
• salt (5g)
• milk (250ml)
• eggs (2)
• butter (100g)
• caramel sauce (200g)

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• baking dish
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Melt the butter and stir it into the wet ingredients. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once the cornbread is done baking, let it cool slightly before slicing into squares. The combination of the crunchy cornbread and gooey caramel is a delightful treat for your taste buds!

One unusual tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some sea salt on top of the cornbread before baking to enhance the flavor contrast between the sweetness of the caramel and the saltiness of the cornbread.
