Yummy Corn Bread

My family loves corn bread. Simple as that. We have two ways of making it. One of the recipes I use is for a sweet corn bread that gets rave reviews from everyone who eats it. Its light, fluffy and a bit sweet. Its wonderful with honey or maple syrup drizzeled over it for breakfast or a snack. Its good with just about any kind of meal. We often have it when we have baked beans. I often slice a piece in half, butter it and then grill it and serve it with a hearty farmers breakfast.

The second type of corn bread I make is the skillet type. Just a simple recipe and not a sweet one. I pour the batter in the iron skillet and stick it in the oven. Its a more hearty old fashioned recipe and good in its own right. We purchase our corn meal from a Christian Community in Elm Mott Texas. Stone ground and fresh as can be. Not one bit of bitterness in their corn meal.

Here is the recipe for the sweeter corn bread. Its worth the work, just don't think about the butter or calories !
