Custard-filled corn bread from Lost Recipes: Meals to Share With Friends and Family by Marion Cunningham

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Omg this is so decadent! I reduced the sugar to 2Tbs from 3Tbs but might reduce it to 1.5 next time. Other than that I made it as written. It kinda came out like an impossible pie or as my husband said almost like a soft quiche with a cornbread base. I am fascinated and will be playing around with this method as much as I can without needing to buy larger jeans! Seriously if you love cornbread and love custard make this cornbread! I also searched for the recipe in other books and see that it is sometimes served with honey or maple syrup for breakfast. It would be amazing with maple syrup! If you wanted a sweet breakfast dish then perhaps the 3tb of sugar would be good. I was serving it with tequila cilantro BBQ chicken (Emeril Grill book) so wanted mine less sweet.

    Tried this recipe again using GF flour. The dry/wet ingredients ratio was way off. Use the Bob's Red Mill adaptation if going to go GF.

    Discovered this recipe while reading A Homemade Life. Saw that I had the original in Lost Recipes at p. 36. Trying a modified version using Bob Red Mill's GF corn bread mix in place of the dry ingredients but added 1/2 c. more plus 1.5 T. brown sugar. Kept the amount of the wet ingredients as stated. Divided between 2 pie tins on a half sheet pan. Baked for 50 minutes. Just came out of the oven: outstanding!!!!! Will be using the corn bread on top of my Fried Chicken Salad with herbed buttermilk dressing for mom and dad's 57th anniversary.
