CORNBREAD WITH RASPBERRY JELLY
SERVES: 8

INGREDIENTS:
1⁄2 pound sugar
2 tablespoons pastry cream powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
9 ounces whole milk
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 ounces flour
5 ounces cornmeal, fine or medium ground
5 ounces butter
1 tablespoon baking powder
1⁄2 cup raspberry jam
2 ears of corn

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 325ºF. Place butter in a thick bottom sauce pot and cook over medium heat until butter begins to brown and smell a bit nutty. Set aside. Remove husk from corn, along with corn sills (hairs)and cut the kernels from the cob. Reserve kernels
and discard the cob. Sift together dry ingredients and set aside. Whisk together egg, vanilla extract and milk and set aside. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet, whisk until just combined. Do not over whisk. Add corn and brown butter to the batter and whisk to combine. Pour half of the batter into a buttered loaf pan
(3"x3"x8") or 10" round cake pan. Spoon the raspberry jam down the center of the batter, then pour the rest of the cornbread batter in the pan. Sprinkle some of the cornmeal and sugar on top of the bread to produce a nice crust. Bake at 325ºF for about 30-35 minutes or done. Check by inserting a skewer into middle of the
loaf. Upon removing, it should be dry. Let the loaf cool to room temperature. Remove the loaf from the pan. Note: For easier removal of loaf from pan, cut a piece of parchment or baking paper the size of the bottom of the pan and place in pan before adding the batter. This will help it release from the pan when ready to de-mold.

Way to Go STEPHANIE!

So, I started this post on June 13th, and now it's July 2nd. The finale was a couple of weeks ago and I really don't have much to say about it. I'm glad Lisa lost. I'm glad Stephanie won. I'm sad Richard did poorly. The finale was the most anti-climatic thing I've ever seen. I mean, seriously.
