Homesteader Cornbread

Reviewed on Oct. 19, 2008 by Sara
This was my first time making homemade cornbread, and I really liked it. I made the suggested changes about reversing the cornmeal and flour amounts, used 1/3 C white sugar and 1/3 C light brown sugar, let the cornmeal & milk (I used soy milk) sit for ~7 minutes, and mixed the batter for 5 minutes exactly. I also added 1/4 C honey to the batter for extra sweetness. I baked it in a 9x13 pan at 375 for 30 minutes. The result? Yum! Yes, it was a bit cakey, like other reviewers said, but I personally like cakey rather than crumbly. The taste could have been a bit stronger... it was lacking some flavor for some reason. But overall, very tasty and very easy to make. Be advised, this makes a LOT! If you're not having a feast of some sort, I'd suggest just making half the recipe. I don't know how I'm going to eat the rest of mine!

Raspberry Lemon Muffins

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Sara
These were interesting--very GOOD interesting, that is! I made a few *slight* changes: I used sour cream in place of the yogurt (I didn't have any on hand) and omitted the sugar on top of the muffins. I also doubled the amount of lemon juice. I felt that the muffins could have used a LOT more lemon juice and zest. The raspberry flavor was powerful but I could barely taste any lemon. I love that these are so low in fat and they really finish well. I do have to admit- after the first few bites I took, I was not impressed. They are a bit plain, which is why I think they need more lemon juice. However, these muffins really grow on you after a while, and I even started craving them! So, give these a chance and you'll love them too! Thanks for the recipe.

Blueberry Coffee Cake I

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Sara
I thought this turned out pretty good, considering my modifications. In an effort to reduce the calories a wee bit, I halved the sugar (to 1/2 c), the salt (to 1/4 tsp) and the butter (to 1/4 c). I added 1/4 c nonfat plain yogurt to the batter to make up for the butter. Taking the advice of other reviewers, I also halved the streusel ingredients, used 3/4 c milk, 1.5 c flour, and 1.5 c blueberries. I layered the streusel as suggested, but for some reason, the middle layer completely disappeared! I could not taste it at all. I think next time, I'll make more streusel to have more for the middle and top. Overall, the cake tasted great and my bf had no idea that I basically cut the calories in half. The blueberries had a nice strong flavor and the cake was soft and moist. I baked this in an 8x8 pan for a little over 50 minutes. Thanks!
