The Corniest Cornbread
The Corniest Cornbread
November 17, 2022
The name Jess Damuck has become synonymous with salad (her bestselling cookbook, Salad Freak, has over 100 recipes for it) but Martha Stewart's personal salad chef is more than just that. She is a food and prop stylist, producer, writer, and an excellent baker. We were so excited when she asked for some masa to play around with, but had no idea what to expect. Just in time for Thanksgiving, she came back with a perfect cornbread recipe.
Lightly sweet, rich in corn flavor, with a light, tender crumb, this cornbread will be the star of your Thanksgiving table. Feel free to use any of the four colors of our Heirloom Corn Masa Harina. A note: the masa harina drinks the wet ingredients up quickly, so the batter will be on the thick side. Not to worry!

Holy Cow!!! I just made this, I’ve been wanting cornbread for a while and I had some masa laying around so I thought, what the heck, I’ll give it a try. Let me tell you, I will be making this again and again! Thank you so much for this recipe! Very good, very tender cornbread, some of the premade cornbread mixes make some pretty tough cornbread cake, but this was sooo good!
Amazing recipe! I too added a bit more milk. Came out so tender and crispy. My new go-to!
Delicious! I added some ground cornmeal for added texture, used a mixture of coconut oil & ghee instead of butter and only did 2.25 tsp baking powder because I was worried it may alter the taste. Still rose perfectly & tastes great!
I made this recipe with Italian bread flour and it was delicious! I did need to add a few splashes more milk to moisten the batter.
Love this recipe, we make it a lot!! Sometimes with jalapeños or okra added in. A great, quick side for a big pot of chili. It is dense and teje honey is really nice with the deep corn flavor. Definitely recommend.
