Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and butter. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. (2 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together the milk mixture and pumpkin puree. Gradually add cornmeal, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition to prevent lumps. Stir in egg yolks and salt until well combined. (5 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

In a clean glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Ensure there is no yolk residue in the whites. (3 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the pumpkin batter in two additions, being careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)

06

Step
1 mins

Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. (1 minute)

07

Step
35 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes. (35 minutes)

08

Step
10 mins

Let cornbread cool slightly before slicing and serving. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter. To brown butter, cook butter over medium heat until it melts and the milk solids begin to turn golden brown and emit a nutty aroma.
A touch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger can be added to the batter for extra warmth.
To prevent the cornbread from sticking, line the baking dish with parchment paper before greasing it.

    My family loved this cornbread! It's not too sweet, which is exactly what I was looking for. I'll definitely be making this again.

    I added a teaspoon of cinnamon and it was delicious! The pumpkin flavor is subtle but definitely there. Great recipe!
