Ahhh...cornbread. I don't think I cared much for it growing up. I do remember my mother buying those little boxes labeled "Jiffy". Floured mixes for making muffins and breads. I discovered the bread anew here in New Mexico where it's nearly a protocol to include green chili in what some would think unimaginable recipes (apple pie, jellies and jams, white-sauced pastas), and yes, corn bread. Delicious! Especially when served slathered in butter with home-made texas chili.....Yum!
I love that about New Mexico, chili in everything! In cornbread it does seem to make the sweetness come out in contrast to that lovely heat. PS-- I remember those Jiffy boxes!
