About
Corn bread is great with chili, barbecue or just on it's own with butter. Try adding corn kernels or chopped chillis for a different texture and flavor.

I just made a modified version of this. I subbed flax meal for corn meal (what we have) and spelt flour for white and wheat flour. I also added a pack of bacon that I had diced up and cooked ahead of time as well as some cilantro and garlic.
The results weren't as light and fluffy as it would have been if I used white flour as well (might use both spelt and white next time) and the additions probably made a difference in it rising. Great recipe and I'll definitely be using it again.
