Step-by-step
- Lightly butter 8-inch baking pan and set aside.
- In large bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In separate bowl, mix eggs, buttermilk and butter together.
- Pour buttermilk mixture into cornmeal mixture and mix together. Batter will still be lumpy.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan and place pan on 1-inch rack.
- Bake on Power Level HI for 25 minutes.
Standard ingredient ratios reveal little about how infrared countertop appliances handle dense batters. A standard formula combining cornmeal, flour, and buttermilk relies on dual chemical leaveners, utilizing baking powder for initial oven spring and baking soda to neutralize the lactic acid in the dairy while providing additional lift. Countertop convection units like the NuWave circulate radiant heat differently than enclosed thermal ovens, making surface observation critical during the final minutes of cooking. Because these units use an exposed heating element combined with a fan, crust coloration happens rapidly while the interior structural crumb continues to set. To determine when the center is fully cooked without a thermometer, press the top firmly with a fingertip; if the surface springs back completely and leaves no indentation, the starches have gelatinized and the proteins have set. Alternatively, insert a wooden skewer into the deepest part of the baking dish, ensuring it emerges clean with only a few dry crumbs attached. When adapting recipes for specialized countertop heating elements, positioning the baking pan on a one-inch rack ensures proper airflow beneath the vessel, preventing the bottom crust from burning before the center bakes through.
