How to Make Traditional Cornbread

My husband has been nagging me for years to make him Cornbread.  Traditional Cornbread is an American recipe that is usually associated with the south end of the US. So after a lot of trial and error, I finally came up with this recipe, that incorporates creamed corn and has a slightly sweet taste. Perfect to serve with soups, casseroles or a really hearty chilli as an alternative to bread and butter and can be made into a full loaf or smaller muffins.

You can purchase Polenta from the cereal section of your local supermarket – you usually find it where you find the Traditional Oats.
