This is one of the best cornbread recipes I have ever tasted. When the cornbread is baked, a creamy, barely set custard will be just under the top crust and everyone will wonder how it got there. It is so good I figured I should share it here with you all. Enjoy- and be surprised!

How To Make custard filled cornbread - it's magic

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350^. Butter a small cast iron or 8-inch round or square baking dish that is at least 2 inches deep. Place the buttered dish or pan in the oven while you mix the batter.
  • Step 2
    Beat the eggs and melted butter in a large bowl until well blended. Add the milk, sugar, vinegar and salt and beat well.
  • Step 3
    Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder and soda in a medium bowl blend well. Add this mixture to the egg mixture and with a spoon mix just until smooth. Stir in corn. (corn may be omitted , if desired- just won't be as corny-lol) Pour this batter into the heated dish, then pour the cream into the CENTER of the batter about an inch or so away from the edge slowly- DO NOT STIR IN.
  • Step 4
    Bake until the top is lightly browned, and a toothpick inserted near the EDGE of the bread (NOT the center)- comes out without wet batter attached, about 45 minutes. Serve warm! A great MAGICAL treat!
