Grovewood Tavern’s Secret Cornbread Recipe

Back in 2012, the Grovewood Tavern and Fresh Fork Market partnered for a fantastic pig roast. A great time was had by all and the pig was certainly tasty! So many people raved about the cornbread, and I convinced Beth to release her secret recipe...

 1/2 cup butter (8 oz)
 2/3 cup sugar
 2 eggs
 1 cup liquid yogurt such as Velvet View, Guernsey, organic (plain) kefir, or buttermilk
 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
 1 cup cornmeal
 1 cup all-purpose flour
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 1/2 to 3/4 cup kernels of corn - either frozen, thawed and drainer, or cut from one roasted ear of corn.
 1/4 cup diced onion

1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8 inch square pan.

2

Whisk together baking soda, cornmeal, flour and salt. Melt butter in large skillet or in the microwave. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Quickly add eggs and beat until well blended. Whisk in yogurt. Stir in dry mixture, corn kernels, and onion until well blended and few lumps remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

3

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
