Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fine cornmeal
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup walnut oil
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup dried currants
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped California walnuts
  • Canola oil (to oil the cake pan)

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well. Make a well in the center and add the milk, walnut oil, egg, currants and walnuts. Mix well and pour into a lightly oiled cake or baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
  3. The cornbread should be golden brown and spring back when pressed. Test with a toothpick, it should come out clean. Cool on a rack or serve 1/2 of it warm (for the stuffing, cool the second half, chop into a coarse dice, and crumble).
