I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for ways to make meal time more fun. It's likely because I have two girls, who often openly share their opinions to the meal Mr. two sugar bugs or I have created.🙄. But, they always love cornbread and they find it extra special when I make it into donuts! #momoftheyear
how do I make homemade cornbread donuts from scratch?
This recipe is so EASY! It comes together in minutes in one bowl and they take about 12 minutes to bake. Easy peasy!!
I even made you a video to show you how easy it is!
In a medium bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt and whisk them all together. Then add the milk, egg and oil and whisk again until combined.
Spoon the batter into each well of a well greased donut pan, filling almost to the top. Bake 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Bake the remaining batter (you may need to re-grease the pan).
what do you eat with cornbread?
- Chili
- Soup
- Pulled pork
- Barbecue
- Baked beans (or any bean dish!)
- Eggs
Can you freeze cornbread donuts?
Yes! Once the cornbread is completely cool, wrap the donuts tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a zip-top bag. They freeze well for up to three months. Allow to defrost overnight in the refrigerator.
