Cornbread for the Big Game: Made From RI Rhode Island Style
Posted by Keith R Wahl, Made From RI on Jan 6th 2026
Game day isn’t just about the score … it’s about the spread. Sure, chips and dip have their place, but imagine setting down a skillet of golden cornbread that smells like home. That’s what happens when you bake with Longfellow Yellow Flint Corn Meal … Rhode Island’s own heirloom grain with a flavor that’s nutty, rustic, and just a little proud of its roots.
So here’s how we do it, step by step, no fuss:
Mixing the Heritage
Grab a big bowl and stir together:
- 1 cup Longfellow Yellow Flint Corn Meal
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
In another bowl, whisk:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
Now pour the wet into the dry, give it a gentle stir … just enough to bring it together. Don’t overthink it; cornbread likes to be simple.
Into the Skillet
Slide a cast-iron skillet into a 400°F oven while you mix. When it’s hot, pull it out, grease it lightly, and pour in your batter. Back into the oven it goes for about 20 minutes, until the edges are crisp and the center springs back when touched.
Serving the Crowd
Cut into wedges and pass the plate. Pair it with chili, stack it under pulled pork sliders, or drizzle with maple syrup for halftime. However you serve it, you’ll see folks reaching for seconds before the next play.
The Invite
“From the fields of Rhode Island to the roar of the crowd, this cornbread is a huddle-breaker. It’s heritage you can taste, and it’s meant to be shared.”
