Preparation Instructions

My family enjoys corn bread along with our baked beans so I decided to give this Southern Style Corn Bread recipe a try.

I followed the recipe exactly and I wasn’t happy with the results. It was dry and a bit more time consuming than the other corn bread recipe I use.

I would recommend adding frozen corn or fresh corn kernels to this recipe to make it moister. I did, however, liked the idea of adding butter to the pan before adding the butter. It gave the bread a crispy and buttery exterior.

Actually, southern cornbread is generally drier due to the fact that more cornmeal is used than flour — more cakelike cornbread is a “northern” thing. Also, the southern version is less sweet. I appreciate your review but had to comment on the difference between southern and northern style (if I can call it that) cornbread. I also like your suggestion on using cream style corn, let me know how that comes out if you try it! Thanks.

Mediterranean Merguez Flatbread

by Diplomatickitchen (Elizabeth) and filed in Breads, Quick Breads

Here is a flatbread of pronounced character suited to a variety of occasions. It is good hot—or not. And it transports easily, thus making it a bread of many uses: for picnics, as an appetizer, or as part of a light lunch. Or perhaps with a salad that is also composed of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern flavours.
