How to Make the Richest Cornbread Ever

Northern-style cornbread is the perfect side dish: Lightly sweet with a cake-like crumb, it complements everything from fried chicken and ribs to the beautifully burnished bird that serves as a centerpiece for the holiday table. But how do you take this humble side dish and make it a star? In this video, Grant Crilly shows you how to make our “rich as f*¢k” cornbread, which turns all the dials up to 11. By using a few surprising ingredients—frozen corn kernels, cake flour, and, most important of all, isomalt—our version’s got a gooey, almost brownie-like crumb; it’s got the clean and clear flavor of freshly harvested sweetcorn doused in butter; and it’s got the crispiest cornbread crust you’ve ever had. Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving or just craving comfort food, this is the cornbread that steals the show.
