We all love cornbread here. You can vary the flour/cornmeal ratio a bit depending on how heavy you want it. I use buttermilk, yogurt or plain milk, depending on what I have around.
Have Leftover Cornbread?
When my eldest was a child, she would happily break up chunks of leftover cornbread into a bowl, cover with milk and heat it up for breakfast the next morning. Or if you have chickens they will go bananas for leftover cornbread! You can also use leftovers to make cornbread stuffing, of course. Oh, and I more recently discovered this cornbread salad!
