being from the south, i love me some cornbread!
i have a very simple, sweet cornbread recipe that
is the perfect compliment to chili, soups, fried chicken,
and basically any warm, hearty meal you can think of...
ingredients
- 1 small box jiffy mix (8.5 oz)
- 1/2 can of creamed corn (i like "allens" brand)
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup milk
ready, set, go
- set oven to 400.
- grease an 8" pie pan or round casserole dish
- mix all ingredients together in bowl
- let ingredients sit for about five minutes,
this lets air into the mixture and creates a
nice, fluffy top to the cornbread as it bakes- bake for 15-20 minutes until fork comes clean
mmmm-mmm! i made this southern comfort food for
my fiance's family (clevelanders) and they loved it.
i plan on making it again and taking it over for christmas.
i also have a cornbread salad recipe if anyone is interested!
I will look today and find another great recipe to share. It is the holidays and we could all use fresh ideas..... I'll post one this evening ... gotta run now.Mac. Salad
