Cornbread

  • 1 cup (120g) cornmeal
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/3 cup (67g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons (30ml) honey
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, at room temperature*

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan. Set aside.
  2. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and honey together until completely smooth and thick. Then, whisk in the egg until combined. Finally, whisk in the buttermilk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Avoid over-mixing.
  3. Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and the center is cooked through. Use a toothpick to test. Edges should be crispy at this point. Allow to slightly cool before slicing and serving. Serve cornbread with butter, honey, jam, or whatever you like.

Notes
This was good - I tried to glaze the top with honey and it was good but I could do better. I made it with coarsely ground cornmeal and it was a little crunchy

XFF style noodles

This is more veggie forward than the original. I make this with the brisket from Brisket Broth cook  1 serving noodles (I use about 150g of the big noodles) According to package directions. Reserving the cooking liquid drain and refresh to room temp. In the same water cook briefly (1 min) 0.5 cup cabbage, cut same width as noodles You will probably need to microwave 0.25 cup broth (from where you made the protein, probably)  4 oz cooked protein, bite sized Combine toppings in in bowl 1 scallion, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped (this is only crunch)   2 Tbs XFF noodle sauce (in pinch 1.5 Tbs soy sauce, 2 tsp black vinegar)   1 Tbs XFF chili oil (or another Szechuan / mala) Once all is done add to the noodles and cabbage the heated protein and broth and the toppings.
