Cornbread is not something Aussies make.
I don’t know why because I am sure, on the whole, we would like it.
Whether it’s with chicken and gravy or served up with Thanksgiving meal, cornbread is something we developed a love for on our trips to the US.
I tried it for the first time today and I am so please with the results I wanted to share it with you all ASAP.
I made mine into muffins, easy to eat and freeze!
