The cornbread recipe...requires 1/2 cup corn meal &1 1/2 cup flour. Accidently used 2/3 cup corn meal???!
Answers: so is it going to be really dry? how can i fix this??
"Breads" are very forgiving and quite flexible. Generally, as long as the dry ingredients to liquid ingredients are kept in appropriate ratio, everything will be fine. You have probably already fixed your cornbread, but if you get in a similar situation again, just reduce the flour by the difference or add just a little extra liquid. Take a deep breath and everything will be fine.
That is really barely cornbread. My recipe of over 35 years calls for = cornmeal and flour. So much flour...it may be gummy. I hope not for your sake. The mistake could have saved your "bacon" HA!
Anadama Bread
Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup molasses
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
Place 1/2 cup water and cornmeal in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until mixture thickens; about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter or margarine and molasses. Let cool to lukewarm.
In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Let sit until creamy; about 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cornmeal mixture with the yeast mixture; stir until well blended. Add 2 cups of the flour and the salt; mix well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a loaf. Place the loaf in a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Just fix it example: 2/3 cup corn meal - 1/1 cup corn meal =cup 1/2 corn meal see it's simply easy!
