Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups cornmeal

Didn't have any cornmeal so I used regular flour. The cornbread still turned out great!

My cornbread didn't rise very much. Not sure what I did wrong.

The cornbread was a bit dry, but still very tasty. I'll try adding some extra butter next time.
