Cornbread. With Attitude.

Can I ask you a personal question?

Do you put corn in your cornbread?

I don’t mean cornmeal or grits or what-not. I mean real honest to goodness corn kernals…If you don’t, you need to get on that straight-away.

…And throw in some chili flakes and green onion while you’re at it. Because they’re all friends. AND if you happen to have some bacon that should also probably get in there.

I apologize in advance if you eat the entire loaf in one sitting.

This cornbread is best when you serve it with a knob of extra butter. As are most things.
