How to Cook Salmon from the Northwest to around the World

Cornbread

Next to drop biscuits made out of Bisquick  bread does not get any easier than this.

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Spray a 9-inch-square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Melt 2 tbsp. butter and let cool.
4. Combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 4 tsp. sugar, 2 tsp. baking powder, ½ tsp. baking soda, ½ tsp. salt and ½ tsp. cayenne.
5. Make a well and gently stir in 2 large eggs.
6. Add 1 cup buttermilk (substitute milk or plain yogurt if you don’t have any buttermilk on hand).
7. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until barely combined.
8. Add the butter.
9. Continue folding until the mixture is barely moistened.
10. Pour into the baking dish and bake until golden-brown, 25-35 minutes.

Notes: Cornbread is very accepting of add-ins. Stir any of these in with the butter:

• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup grated cheddar or other cheese
• ¾ cup corn kernels
• 1 chopped jalapeno
• ½ cup sauteed onions
• 2 tbsp. fresh herbs
