Cornbread is very inexpensive and easy to make, can be prepared so that most anyone will enjoy eating it, and is very nutritious! In the USA, we've known about and eaten cornbread since the arrival of the Europeans. Elsewhere in the world, you can almost always find some form of cornbread wherever corn is harvested for food.
Ingredients:
1-2/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1 egg white
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup fresh corn kernels or chopped jalapeno chili peppers (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix all of the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, combine the water and egg white. Fold the dry ingredients, and the corn or chili peppers if they are being used, into the wet ones. Be careful not to overmix or it will not rise.
Pour the batter into a nonstick 9-by-5-by3-inch loaf pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
