Cornbread Sticks

Directions

Yield: Makes about 6 dozen cornbread sticks

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a large 7-stick corn stick pan with flavorless vegetable oil or grease lightly. Put the pan in the oven so that’s hot when needed.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, eggs, and egg whites. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
4. Pour or spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter into the hot corn stick pan, filling each mold until nearly full. Bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick or the tip of a small knife comes out clean and the corn sticks are lightly browned.
5. Let the sticks cool in the pan set on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Remove the sticks and let them cool completely before serving.
