    Pumpkin Corn Bread

    Published: Feb 8, 2014 by Ashley

    This corn bread recipe came from an adorable little book of pumpkin recipes that my husband picked up for me for Christmas. This recipe sounded great, and we love corn bread, so I figured it'd be tasty.

    Pumpkin Corn Bread

    Well... it was OK. It wasn't very moist, but we did end up slathering it with some honey butter, which helped out quite a bit. It just didn't have a whole lot of flavor.

    I think it would be good as the base for a corn bread dressing maybe, but it just didn't really work too well for us on its own.

    I'm still looking forward to trying out some other recipes from this book - there are a lot of interesting ideas in there!

    Pumpkin Corn Bread
    The Great Little Pumpkin Cookbook - Michael Krondl

    ⅓ cup corn oil
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 cup cornmeal
    1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
    ½ teaspoon salt
    1 cup pumpkin purée
    ½ cup buttermilk
    2 eggs
    2 tablespoons brown sugar

    Brush the inside of a 9- to 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Place in the oven, then set the oven temperature to 425°F.

    In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin, buttermilk, remaining oil, eggs and brown sugar. Then stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.

    Remove the skillet from the oven, pour in the batter, return to the oven, and bake 30 to 40 minutes, until the center is firm. Serve warm in wedges.

    Serves 8 to 10

      Making cornbread dressing out of it is a great idea! That sounds like it would be an interesting twist that would be really tasty!

      Aww such a cute cookbook! Though I'm sorry to hear this cornbread didn't live up to expectations.
