Honey Wheat Cornbread (Using Freshly Ground Flour)

Submitted by SweetDivaMJ

"This is our favorite cornbread recipe....concocted after much time fiddling around with "traditional" recipes trying to convert them into a healthier alternative using whole grain flour. My kids could make a meal of this by itself. If you're going to give it a try, serve warm (of course); slice pieces in half horizontally and spread with butter and additional honey, replace tops and enjoy! :) Posted for safe-keeping; made public at the request of a friend. *NOTE* If using store bought all-purpose or wheat flour, flour amounts will not be the same."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 5 tablespoons honey
• 1⁄4 cup oil
• 4 tablespoons ground flax seeds
• 3⁄4 cup water
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 1⁄4 cups freshly gorund soft wheat
• 1 1⁄4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Combine ground flax and water; set aside until water is absorbed (about 10 minutes).
2. Combine remaining ingredients; add flax.
3. Spread into baking dish. (I actually use a 11" round stoneware deep dish baker for this cornbread with an 11-cup capacity. I think a 9x9x2" square pan would be an equivalent substitution, or a 13x9" rectangular pan - but you may have to adjust the cooking time.).
4. Bake at 400° 15-20 minute or until golden brown and tests done.

This is so yummy. Happy to have a recipe with all whole wheat too. Used a hard white wheat that I ground fresh. Seemed a tiny bit dry to me, but I probably overcooked it a bit. I baked it in a cast-iron skillet in the oven. Will watch a little closer next time. Thank you so much. Love it.
