Mom’s Corn Bread

Corn Bread {In 30 Minutes or Less}

 A slightly grainy texture with a hint of sweetness never tasted so good. I grew up thinking the only way to eat corn bread was if it was dripping with butter and honey. So good. Comfort food at it’s finest. Years later when I lived in the Deep South I found out corn bread is also an awesome side for chili or corned beef.

My husband has been on a corn bread kick lately. By lately I mean, like, the last five years. He’s always saying, I think I’ll make some corn bread today. It is one recipe that he has truly mastered.

We have tried other recipes but always come back to my mom’s recipe. It’s the best. It taste great and it’s made with simple ingredients we keep on hand. I bet you have the ingredients in your pantry too. Make you some for breakfast it’s delicious!
