There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Simple Cornmeal Bread - PUBLISHED

1 - The flavour is nice but it may be a little too crumbly still. I'll add some flour to see.
2 - I remember trying it with more flour and it decreases the lovely, nutty flavour of the cornmeal, so I now have it as 1:1 cornmeal to flour.
3 - So easy, so simple, good accompaniment to other dishes. Typical dry, crumbly cornbread.

1 cup milk
6 Tbsps melted fat (butter, lard, olive oil, whatever)
2 large eggs
1 1⁄4 cups cornmeal
1 1/4 cup flour
1⁄3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  1. Heat oven to 400F.
  2. Grease bottom and side of a round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
  3. Whisk the milk, butter and eggs in large bowl.
  4. Plop in the remaining ingredients all at once and stir just until the flour is moistened (the batter will be lumpy).
  5. Pour it into the pan.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and it passes the toothpick test.
  7. Cut into wedges and serve.
