Mini Corn Cob Cornbread Sticks

June 21, 2013 by Valerie Lugonja 9 Comments

Great as croutons, cracker substitutes, or for dipping…

IMG_0396

Not sure if these delightful little mini rod iron finds are worth the outrageous price I paid for them, but I had fun making the miniature cornmeal corncobs, anyway. I love cornbread. Vanja hates it. Proja is a national dish in the former Yugoslavia, where he is from. Pura is a famous porridge from the Kupres area made with cornmeal, as well. Vanja will have none of it. I love it all. Never make it unless I am going out. And, I am going out.

 Isn’t it a shame he is such a picky fellow? This recipe is so easy and absolutely scrumptious, to me.

IMG_0373

 The trick is the 450°F oven and heating the rod iron pans in it before filling them with the batter. They are half cooked before they get back into the oven. I made large ones, too, and they are to be brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I was afraid to let the little ones get brown on the outside as there was only a teaspoon of batter per cob. However, they would probably be delicious as crunchy cracker type sticks, too.

Mini Corn Cob Cornbread

The buttermilk adds the sour tang to the mix and each begs to be dipped into melted butter and slathered with sour cream. Why is that?

IMG_0383 IMG_0396

 I am serving them with a cheesy dip… but see the little pile to the right? That’s the “family” pile and I will be enjoying them tomorrow, probably slathered with sour cream and a bit of butter. After reheating them, of course.

    looks like it is fun to make and really surprising, going to give it a try……if I can find the molds. Valerie, you always inspire people with this kind of recipe. Thanks again.

      Thanks, Tonny
      Just go for the bigger corn cob cornbread moulds. They can be found in almost any kitchen shop and are cast iron.

    I’m with you – I love cornbread! I don’t have any cute pans like yours but I love it even baked in a 8×8 pan. Never tried bacon drippings – yum!

      For some reason, melted butter and sour cream seem to call to me whenever I eat cornbread. Not sure why. I have been having a lot of fun with this!

    Hi.
    I once made a half-pan of cornbread because I wanted it thin and crispy on the outside with just a little “bread” in the middle. It is GREAT. It made me wonder if there were mini cornbread-stick pans. I’m thinking 3 inches or so. Is this the case with yours? Are they for sale anywhere else? I would sell the mini sticks out of a food truck and make millions!! Thanks!

      Let me tell you this little pan is a little smaller than three inches – or about that… hmmmm? It is adorable. it cost an arm and a leg – 30 dollars as it is very heavy cast iron. I bought it at a local kitchen shop and have never seen them before or after, and there is no identifying mark. Go forth, Cliff! Hope you find them to make your millions! One must always have a dream. I just want to taste your crispy bits now!
      🙂

These are by far the BEST meatballs I have ever tasted. Truly. The flavour in them had far surpassed my expectations. It was not a lot of work, and I enjoyed my time making these with my daughter @ragsmarie ! A little goes a long way!

What does REBOOT mean? In an nut shell, I  started a journey in June with the company Evolv to reboot my health. And since my Husband and my daughter have joined me this year, @ragsmarie and I have decided to meet once a week to prepare dishes that are a fit for our program as well as delicious and freezer friendly. Thanks to #Pinterest and our own creative minds, we have many more recipes to come!

our family really craves bread. And what we’ve all ventured off into this journey with @evolvhealth , bread was something of the past based on its nutrients and goals. So I received this recipe and decided to try it with my daughter who is rebooting her gut with me too. This is 5 ingredients and so much more substantial than we expected. Even my husband has loved this recipe too!
