To me, cornbread is an essential item, especially when it comes to things like chili and stews. This is a sweet variety, and you can vary the sweetness by adding or subtracting some of the sugar or honey. The double-baking method gives you great-tasting cornbread where each piece is soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, and it only takes a few minutes longer in the oven. So, you ready, let’s get into the kitchen.
