Cornbread

I'm not picky about cornbread, I tend to like most of them I've tried. That being said, I am fairly confident that Cornbread {page 401} is hands down the very best cornbread I've ever had in my life.

It has a perfect cornmeal-to-flour ratio {especially when using coarse cornmeal}, is not too sweet, has a delicate but dense crumb, and a crispy exterior with a moist interior. I also particularly like the fact that this recipe doesn't call for any egg replacer, and uses very basic pantry staples. I made a pan to go with some chili we were having at my brother-in-law's house, and it disappeared in a matter of minutes. I only got one tiny piece from that pan, and was craving it again badly. When I got home, I made a whole second pan that Ninjahusband, Supertoddler and I all devoured within a day.

It is so good, in fact, that I think I might just have to go make another pan right now...

Until next time.
