Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pumpkin Cornbread Made Easy.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give an 8-inch square baking dish a light greasing to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine milk, sugar, and butter.
Step 3
Stir the mixture gently until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 4
Once that’s done, transfer the melted mixture into a mixing bowl and add in the pumpkin puree.
Step 5
Gradually sprinkle in the cornmeal, about half a cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Step 6
Next, stir in the egg yolks and a pinch of salt until everything is beautifully blended together.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, take a moment to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
Step 8
You’ll know they’re ready when the peaks stand tall and proud when you lift the beater.
Step 9
Now, gently fold those fluffy egg whites into your pumpkin batter, being careful not to deflate them too much.
Step 10
Once combined, pour the vibrant batter into your prepared baking dish.
Step 11
Slide it into the preheated oven and let it bake for around 35 minutes.
Step 12
You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, revealing a delightful treat that’s sure to warm your heart and home.
Step 13
Enjoy the wonderful aroma as it fills your kitchen!.
