I really love corn bread. I am a corn bread fed lady. My mom always made beans and rice, and corn bread was served on the side. I still can not have beans without corn bread. To me, it would just be wrong! I want to introduce you all to my Corn Cakes
A lot of people opt out of having corn bread simply because they don’t realize just how easy and quick it can be when its homemade. Here is a recipe that is beyond frugal, and ANYONE can make it. Unlike your normal cornbread, this bread is in a pancake form. I like making it this way because it comes out light fluffy, and golden. Also, kids like it because it also makes a great snack along with a cold glass of milk. Make no mistake! This corn bread is delicious with beans and rice, or smothered chicken. However, it can be served on its own as well! Give it a try.
