Equipment

  • Cast Iron Corn Sticks Pan
  • baking sheet
  • Oven Mits

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ¾ cup Quaker White Corn Meal
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 Tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup warm milk (not hot)
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Place Corn Stick Pan in oven. Turn oven on to Pre-heat at 425 degrees while making the batter.

To Make The Batter

  • In a large bowl, stir together flour, corn meal, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until just melted to liquid. Set aside.
  • In another microwave-safe bowl or glass measuring cup, heat the milk to lukewarm, but not hot -about 15 seconds.
  • Add the eggs to the warm milk and whisk. (Again, make sure your milk is only lukewarm or it will cook the eggs.)
  • Stir the milk/egg mixture and melted butter into the dry ingredients until creamy.

Prepare The Pan

  • Carefully remove the HOT pre-heated cast iron mold and place it on a baking sheet. Generously spray the top with Cooking Spray (not baking spray).

Fill and Bake

  • With a tablespoon, fill each mold divot almost full with batter.
  • Place back into the oven and bake for about 8 minutes.
  • When lightly golden, carefully remove and flip onto a clean cloth or cooling rack.
