Masa Cornbread recipe?

How can I substitute masa flour for regular corn meal in a typical cornbread recipe? I'd like my cornbread fairly high and light, not low and tough.





Thanks!Masa Cornbread recipe?
i read a couple of blogs where people just substituted the masa for the corn meal in any recipe and they say it turns out really well. Try this recipe sometime


Marie Callender's Famous Golden Cornbread (copycat!) and Honey Butter








1 1/4 cups flour


3/4 cup cornmeal


2 teaspoons baking powder


1/3 cup sugar


3/4 teaspoon salt


1 1/4 cups whole milk (I've used low fat, and even skim milk and they work fine, but the best is the whole milk!)


1/4 cup shortening


1 egg


Honey Butter


1/2 cup butter, softened


1/3 cup honey





Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.


Combine all the dry ingredients in medium bowl.


Add the milk, shortening, and egg and mix only until all the ingredients are well combined.


Do not overmix.


Pour the batter into a greased 8x8-inch pan.


Bake for 25-30 minutes or until top is golden brown.


Let cool slightly before slicing.


Slice with sharp knife into 9 pieces.


Serve warm with honey butter, if desired.


For the honey butter, use a mixer on high speed to whip the butter and honey together until smooth and fluffy.
