    This recipe makes a delicious loaf of bread with a great texture. The recipe is also very easy, especially for a brioche! [Cross-post for Annual Edition/Magazine/Cooks Ill. Cookbook].

• Golden Northern cornbread

  • ashallen on November 13, 2020

    We really like this cornbread recipe and have made it many times. I especially love the texture which is high, light (but still substantial), a bit springy, and moist. Not too sweet and good corn flavor. Be careful not to overbake - it dries out. It's definitely best the day it's made, but keeps okay for a day or so. Recipe calls for stone-ground cornmeal but a coarse grind yielded a gritty cornbread - we like a medium or fine grind best. Also works well when doubled and baked in a 9x13-inch pan.
