CORNBREAD MUFFINS
Ubiquitous on southern tables, cornbread is a versatile side dish that can be cut into pieces from a cast-iron skillet or, as done in this recipe, portioned as individual muffins. This recipe by Alexander Smalls, a chef, author, restaurateur and former opera singer, uses finely ground cornmeal and two types of milk to create a savory batter, which also gets a kick from coriander. Fresh corn kernels add texture to the dense quickbread. Serve warm alongside a spread of vegetables or a meat dish, with plenty of butter.
