Flavour Diary: Whole Wheat Cornbread Recipe | Northern Style Cornbread

Cornbread is common bread in United States cuisine and comes in both sweet and savoury version depending on the origin of it.Cornbread can be baked, fried or, rarely, steamed. Skillet-fried or skillet-baked cornbread is a traditional staple in the rural United States, especially in the South. This involves heating oil/butter in a heavy, well-seasoned cast iron skillet in an oven, and then pouring a batter made from cornmeal, egg, and milk directly into the hot grease. The mixture is returned to the oven to bake into a large, crumbly and sometimes very moist cake with a crunchy crust.In addition to the skillet method, such cornbread also may be made in sticks, muffins, or loaves.
Southern cornbread has traditionally been made with little or no sugar and smaller amounts flour or no flour.Southern cornbread traditionally used white cornmeal and buttermilk.Cornbread is occasionally crumbled and served with cold milk or clabber (buttermilk), similar to cold cereal. In Texas, cornbread is made with fresh or creamed corn kernels and jalapeño peppers and topped with shredded cheese.
