Cornbread

Cornbread is a type of bread made primarily from cornmeal, which is ground dried corn. It is a staple in Southern and Native American cuisine, often served as a side dish to meals. Cornbread can be baked, fried, or steamed and can vary in texture from crumbly to moist, depending on the ingredients used. Common variations include sweet cornbread, which includes sugar or honey, and savory versions that may incorporate ingredients like cheese, jalapeños, or bacon. It is usually quick to prepare and leavened with baking powder or baking soda, as opposed to yeast. Cornbread is often associated with comfort food and is popular for its hearty flavor and versatility in pairing with a variety of dishes.
