Preparation

Step 1

If you can find it, use stoneground cornmeal in this recipe. It adds a deliciously nutty flavor and texture to the bread.

Heat the oven to 375F

In a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients, stir together the eggs, canola oil, and yogurt until smooth. Stir in the sugar followed by the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Keep stirring until no pockets of dry ingredients show.

Pour the batter into the pan and use an offset spatula or regular spatula to smooth the top. Bake the cornbread for 35 minutes, or until it is uniformly golden brown on top and firm in the middle. Set on a rack to cool for 10 minutes.

Make 2 vertical slices and 5 horizontal slices to form 18 squares. Lift them from the pan and serve with butter.
