Cornbread

This cornbread was done without chili flakes.

Cornbread… a great combination of flavors and textures. To eat by itself or toasted with butter and honey.

A holiday dinner staple. No Thanksgiving dinner is complete without a cornbread on the table. This cornbread has 2 twists: corn kernel, and chili flakes. 

The problem with the cornbread is that it dries up very fast if left unwrap on the counter! Please wrap it as soon as you are done with dinner. Do not slice it until the very minute you are sitting down for dinner. 

You have no chili flakes, no worries! Replace it with a smaller quantity of paprika or chili powder. Can easily be done without them too. 

The cornbread was done in a cooking class. Students decided to add the flakes at the top for decoration.
