Types of Cornbread

You can tell that we love cornbread. You can do so much with cornbread.
Think of it as an empty easel, adding the flavors and colors that fit
your fancy.

It helps to understand the types of cornbread. It's easier to
anticipate the finished cornbread or modify a recipe to match
family's tastes.

· Sweetened cornbread: This is Yankee cornbread, slightly sweet to
the taste. Look for one two tablespoons of sugar in the recipe.
· Southern cornbread: This is the classic, traditional cornbread with
just a teaspoon or two of sugar (and in some cases, none). Drizzle
honey or syrup over this cornbread or serve it with jam.
· Flourless cornbread: Flourless cornbread relies on the proteins in
eggs to provide structure instead of the starches in flours. Most
cornbread recipes have about the same amount of flour as cornmeal.
· Sweet or savory cornbread: You can mix sweet or savory additions
into your cornbread. In this issue, you will find bacon, cheddar,
peppers, and onions as savory additions. Blueberries, apples, nuts, and
dried fruit all work well in cornbread.
· Yeasted cornbread: Yeasted cornbread is chewy and wonderful. The
gluten in the bread flour is developed so that it has a texture more
like bread than cornmeal. Anadama Bread has a small portion of cornmeal
added.
