Comments
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.
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.
