Chive Corn Sticks
 
 
Makes 14
Ingredients
  • 1 cup plain yellow cornmeal
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
  • 1¼ cups whole buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • Pinch kosher salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Place 2 (7-well) cast-iron corn stick pans in oven while preheating.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt; stir in ½ cup chives. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and egg. Make a well in center of dry ingredients; stir in buttermilk mixture just until combined.
  3. Carefully remove hot pans from oven; spray with cooking spray. Carefully spoon batter into wells of hot pans.
  4. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together softened butter, pinch kosher salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons chives until combined. Serve with warm corn sticks.
Notes
If you don’t have corn stick pans, bake the batter in a preheated 8-inch cast-iron skillet.
