Comments
This recipe is from Five Dollar Dinners. Many years ago, Art and I used to spend quite a bit of weekend time in Rockville, MD and there was a specialty food store there called Eatzi’s. Sadly, it went out of business but it had the most amazing skillet cornbread that had bits of corn in it, not just cornmeal. We’d often pick one up to take home with us and the bread was always devoured. I’ve been looking for a recipe that comes close to that deliciousness for quite some time now and I think this might be the one. The bread had just the right amount of sweetness, great texture due to the corn, and a nice crust from the skillet. This might just be the cornbread of my dreams.
