This cornbread has an intense corn flavor and a coarse texture. I like to make cornbread muffins but you can also bake it in a cake pan. It’s the perfect addition to a pot of chili.
The last time I made this I cut the recipe in half and made six muffins. It worked great and we didn’t end up with too much bread for the three of us.
