Cornbread, great for a rainy day !!

Cornbread
I decide to make this to go with a crock-pot of pulled chicken. Perfect for a rainy day, it goes well with any kind of soup or chili. You can add a 1/2 of corn kernels or 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese or even some chopped bell peppers.


Preheat the oven to 350 F.
This recipe makes a dozen muffins or a 9 inch pan or cast iron skillet.
If you plan to bake it in cast iron, place the skillet in the oven to heat up with a tablespoon of oil or butter.


In a bowl mix: 1 cup cornmeal
          1 cup flour
          3 tablespoons of brown sugar
          1 teaspoon baking soda
          1/2 teaspoon salt

In another small bowl mix together: 1 cup milk
                        1 egg
                        2 tablespoons canola oil or melted butter

Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix only until moist.
Pour into greased muffin tins , 9 inch pan or cast iron skillet.
For muffins bake 12 minutes.
For the 9 inch pan or skillet bake 20 minutes.
Serve warm with butter and honey :-)
