I don’t know how many of you are familiar with this sweet version of cornbread, a rich, sweet bread, moist and flavorful, with a crispy caramelized sugar on top. In our family as a kid, this used to be like a weekly treat, either for breakfast or simply as a snack all day round. My mother and grandmother used to bake it in the outside oven, and the smell while baking is simply irresistible.
The recipe is so easy, requires nos special equipment, all you need is a whisk and basic ingredients you already have in your pantry. Kids especially love this bread, and is a great recipe to prepare together with them. Hope you will try this Easy Sweet Cornbread. Enjoy!
