Pumpkin Cornbread



Pumpkin Cornbread
Kay Quealy - Salt Lake City, UT


This recipe is originally from The Pittsburg Post-Gazette.


Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 3/4 teaspoon salt
1 medium onion, finely chopped 1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup yellow cornmeal 2 tablespoons honey
2/3 C all-purpose flour 1 C pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon baking powder 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 C buttermilk


Cooking Instructions
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute' for 5 minutes or until softened and golden brown. Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Combine honey, pumpkin puree, eggs, buttermilk and onion in another bowl. Place remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a 9-by-9 inch square baking pan. Place in oven until butter is melted. Swirl pan to coat with butter. Pour melted butter into pumpkin mixture. (You may want to use another creative method to butter the pan, but this works too.)(not too much stirring!) Pour batter into buttered baking pan, smooth top. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Stir to combine. Add pumpkin mixture to dry ingredients. Stir just until evenly moistened

As Julia Child would say, Bon Appetite!
