    Gritty McDuff's Corn Bread


    Source of Recipe


    chef Paul L'Heureux of Gritty McDuff's in Portland, Maine.

    List of Ingredients




    3 cups flour
    3 cups cornmeal
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    2 tablespoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
    1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
    6 large eggs
    2 cups buttermilk
    2 cups half-and-half
    1 cup sour cream
    1 cup butter, softened
    2 tablespoons honey

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. (Note: The batter completely filled the pan as it rose during baking, so do not use a shallow baking dish, and do not try to substitute a smaller pan.)

    With a whisk, stir together flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, ginger and pumpkin pie spice until there are no more lumps of brown sugar.

    In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, buttermilk, half-and-half, sour cream and butter. Beat on high speed (or the highest speed possible without splashing too much) at least 2 full minutes. Lower speed to medium and beat in honey. Beat in flour mixture, about 1 cup at a time, being sure each cup is completely absorbed before adding another.

    Pour into pan and bake 30 minutes; rotate pan 180 degrees and bake another 30 minutes. Corn bread is done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, with a few crumbs sticking to it.

    Makes about 24 large pieces.
