Vintage Cookery – Cornbread

 

Cornbread is one of those items I like to have with soup or ham & beans.  This recipe is my mom’s and I think it is the best tasting cornbread recipe.  Warm, topped with butter or honey butter – so good!

 

Variation:  Corny cornbread – reduce the milk to ¾ cup and add a can of creamed corn.  Stir it in well and bake. 

Variation:  Mexican cornbread – stir in 2 Tbs. chopped jalapeno pepper and a cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese.

 

These days I typically make cornbread in muffin cups.  I freeze half of it and keep the other half in the fridge to keep it fresh and eat right away.  I do find that cornbread sours if it isn’t kept in the refrigerator.  If you like cornbread be sure to give this one a try.
