Thread Name: BS: Cornbread from Pancake Mix
Subject: RE: BS: Cornbread from Pancake Mix
I think my main cornbread recipe is 1 to 1 on the flour and corn meal. I have one from my cousin with a son who can't eat wheat flour. She uses all corn meal and I think adds creamed corn as well, to help keep it moist.
What else can you make from that mix? Maybe some variety of coffee cake (great after school treat, or with enough fruit, an occasional breakfast treat). Muffins. It's mostly flour and leavening with a little sugar and salt, right? Work in some shortening or add melted butter, add an egg, depending on what you want to make. No problem. You could add sugar, but it probably doesn't need any extra leavening; if it's for muffins or coffee cake, I'd add 2/3 cup of plain flour to every 1 1/3 cups of pancake mix to get the right mix of baking powder. (The idea is to get the baking powder down to a level of about 2 tsp per 2 cups of mix and flour. Pancakes usually use 3 tsp for every 2 cups flour).
