Molasses Mistake Cornbread

A moist cornbread made with molasses. It doesn’t use any butter, because it really doesn’t need it. I came up with this one night when I was trying to make a cornbread sweetened with molasses. When I was cooking it, I realized that I’d forgotten to put butter in it. I ended up cooking it anyway, and it didn’t need any.

To made this in a dough , add all the ingredients to your breadmaker and follow the makers instructions.

A dough’s first rising can be done in the fridge 24 hours . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great limit , as you can start it night before , then clear it off the next day.
