All Day and All Night Corn Bread

Cooks' Note

When the corn bread has cooled, one 2-inch square can be removed. Open the square horizontally so there is a top and a bottom. Put in one slice of Swiss cheese or Monterey Jack cheese and warm in a toaster oven. Serve for breakfast with the hot beverage of your choice.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups white cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons milk

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Melt the butter in an 8-inch square pan.

    Step 2

    Sift together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl.

    Stir in 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the milk and the egg, mixing only enough to dampen the cornmeal mixture.

    Pour the batter into the pan. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup milk over the batter and stir.

    Step 5

    Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
