Cornbread




Cornbread is a sort of quick bread/ common stapel food in US. There are 2 types, Northern US is commonly made by yellow cornmeal/polenta and is sweeter. Southern US might be use white cornmeal/polenta and taste saltier. I still have a big pack of polenta at home - my husband bought wrong goodies. He thought cornflour/starch is same with cornmeal. Funny huh? Never ask a man to buy household. I found this recipe in a famous malaysian chef wan's book. The result is very soft likes muffin, not so sweet and very very fragnant!!!!! Worth to try. And super easy!
