Sweet and Fluffy Cornbread

I love this cornbread recipe. It’s like no other cornbread recipe I’ve ever made. Unlike traditional cornbread, this is light and fluffy. Because it mixes all-purpose flour with cornmeal, it’s not course.
We had quite the cold snap around here on Friday evening, with rain turning into an early snow! It was the perfect evening for a bowl of chili and this cornbread to warm out tummies.
It’s perfect to go along side a bowl of steamy chilli on a cold day.
Yet, it’s tasty enough to eat alone. And this recipe doesn’t fall apart when you cut into it or pick it up to eat.
Any way you eat your cornbread, this version doesn’t require anything on it. It’s moist enough to eat just as it is, but you can still add butter (or even a bit of honey if you must.)
Try using this cornbread in my cornbread stuffing recipe.
