Host An Unforgettable Book Club Party

This recipe was invented out of a need to use baked beans when we decided to change our menu from a sit down meal to just appetizers.   We used the Yankee Baked Bean Recipe.

Inspired by Olive Kitteridge

Prep time:  10 minutes      Cook time:  8-10 minutes      Servings:  12 appetizers

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup corn meal
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 6 tablespoons molasses
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease the bottom of a 12 muffin cup tin (a silicone muffin tin makes it easier to get the bread rounds out of the muffin cup)
2. Combine the corn meal, flours, salt and baking soda.
3. Add the molasses and buttermilk and mix well.
4. Fill just the bottoms of the muffin tins.
5. Cook for 8-10 minutes.  Remove from oven and let them cool.
6. Place on a platter and top with baked beans and parmesan cheese.
