Olive Oil Cornbread

Category, DifficultyBeginner

This 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.
