Sweet Potato Cornbread Recipe

If you've never had sweet potato corn bread you just have to make this delicious recipe for sweet potato corn bread and see what you think. The first time I ever had sweet potato corn bread was with deep fried catfish filets and fried okra at a little cafe way down south in Mississippi.I just simply could not believe that anything could taste as good as the flavor combinations of fried catfish, deep fried okra, and sweet potato cornbread. I know ever since that hot evening on the front porch of that little cafe I have remembered and dreamed about how good that sweet potato corn bread, fried catfish and fried okra was.

Some people like their okra fried up together in a pan while other people like their okra fried up in individual pieces in hot oil. While other people love boiled okra in delicious homemade Gumbo. How about you?

And I couldn't believe that there was anything like sweet potato corn bread and I had never tasted it. A few mornings later I had pan fried left over sweet potato corn bread and fried blue gill and I found it hard to believe that there was something that tasted this good. To make pan fried corn bread you put some butter into a skillet and fry your slices of corn bread on both sides until it is brown and crisp. And I bet you won't believe how good it is until you give it a try. With fried fish it is truly one of the best things you will ever eat.

Sweet Potato Cornbread is also wonderful with steamed cabbage and other vegetables. I don't believe there is any way I wouldn't like sweet potato corn bread. If you pan fry it you want it to be about 2 inches thick and you want to fry it in butter turning it over only once while it is frying. Cook your pan fried corn bread until it is golden brown on both sides and then take it out of the pan gently with a spatula. Let me give you a secret here. Pan fried sweet potato corn bread just out of the pan is oh so wonderful with molasses. Its truly one of the best desserts you'll ever eat.

If your going to cook with sweet potatoes I would suggest peeling and boiling your sweet potatoes and when they are done run them through a food processor. You will find that if you run your sweet potatoes through the food processor that they will be smooth with no strings when you use the sweet potatoes in a recipe.

The below recipe for sweet potato corn bread is made the long way from plain flour and plain cornmeal but you'll find that sweet potato corn bread made this way is oh so delicious and you'll never get the taste you'll get with this sweet potato corn bread any other way.

Sweet Potato Cornbread

1. 1/2 Cup Mashed Sweet Potato.

You will want to mix all your ingredients together very well with a hand mixer until all your ingredients are very well mixed. The melted butter is to brush on your sweet potato corn bread just after you take it out of the oven.

Once you have all your sweet potato corn bread ingredients mixed up very well together pour your sweet potato corn bread mix out into a well greased 9 inch baking pan or carefully spoon into 12 muffin tins.

I just simply love sweet potato corn bread muffins. I like to break up a sweet potato corn bread muffin up into a bowl and pour butter milk over it and eat it with a spoon. You want to take the sweet potato corn bread muffin straight out of the oven and pour your butter milk over it. It is oh so wonderful. Especially with a piece of sweet onion. People in parts of the deep south have been eating sweet potato corn bread and butter milk for hundreds of years and you really should give it a try because it is one of the most delicious things you will ever eat.

I like to make no beans chili and sweet potato corn bread muffins and put me a broke up sweet potato muffin in the bottom of a bowl and put a big ladle of no beans chili over the sweet potato muffin. You won't believe how delicious it is until you try it.
