Cornbread is a soft, golden bread with a tender crumb and a naturally sweet, comforting flavor that feels like home with every bite.

This cornbread is slightly sweet, very moist, and pairs beautifully with chili or Mexican-style salads.

I like to add finely diced jalapenos and fresh corn to this recipe for a heartier, spicier version.
