This Corn Bread Recipe goes perfectly with pretty much anything. It can accompany a hot bowl of chili, a nice roast turkey or even chicken cacciatore. Left-over corn bread (which is rare) can serve as an afternoon snack with a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate.
Cornmeal is made by grinding raw corn kernels. It was used by native Americans way before the European explorers arrived. When the settlers learned about cornmeal, they tried using the ingredient in recipes that originally used grains available in Europe.
That’s where the original corn bread recipe came from. Lucky us!
