Tips: You can quickly whip this up using a can of corn. For even better flavor and color, try grilling fresh corn and cutting it off the cob instead. Want to make it creamy? Stir in two tablespoons of Greek yogurt or sour cream. Recipe courtesy of Molly Allen.Olive Oil CornbreadThis batter is quite thin, so don't be scared if you feel like it's too thin. Also, really do let the batter rest. This lets the leavening ingredients get activated and it also allows the cornmeal to hydrate, creating a moister finished product. If you have a locally milled corn that will give you the best and sweetest product. We use local flint corn from Sun Gold Farms in Forest Grove, Oregon.
