Notes

  • When it comes to making cornbread, achieving the perfect balance of flavors and textures is essential. To create a delightful batch of cornbread, it's recommended to combine equal parts of all-purpose flour and cornmeal. This harmonious blend imparts a pleasant tenderness to the bread while allowing the corn flavor to shine through.
  • Once your cornbread is baked to golden perfection, it's important to allow it to cool slightly before cutting into delectable bars. This brief cooling period allows the bread to set and ensures clean, defined slices without crumbling or losing their shape.
  • As for vegetables, exercise caution when cooking them. It's crucial not to overcook them, as you most certainly don't want to end up with a plate of mushy vegetables.
  • SUBSTITUTIONS & VARIATIONS: If you find yourself without leek, don't worry! A perfect substitution for leek would be green onion.
