Great job on your granola bars! We loved how much variation there is, and that no matter what you have on hand you can whip up some yummy granola bars in a flash!This month we will be making something super yummy and perfect for fall! Cornbread! Corn bread has been around for ages, and is typically considered the cornerstone for Southern US cooking. There are several types of cornbread -(a quick bread that utilizes eggs, sugar, and some wheat flour),(from from thick, malleable cornmeal dough that is eggless and milk less and baked in a iron pan over an open fire with butter),(dropping spoonfuls of a batter using boiling water, cornmeal and baking soda into a skillet off hot oil. This helps the crust to turn golden and crispy while the center is crumbly and mushy bread),(a cornmeal based batter cooked on a skillet to make a type of pancake like bread, sometimes also called hoecakes), and hushpuppies (a thick buttermilk based batter that is deep fried to make crunchy golden brown outsides and moist yellow insides).You can make any type of corn bread you wish here, and flavor it, too. Maybe add some cheese, bacon, or jalapeños? Or all three? You also have options for when it comes to baking - you can use fresh from the fridge or fed. And you can bake this as a quick recipe or let your batter ferment for 8-12 hours. Whichever you prefer! If you want some ideas don't forget to check out our Monthly Inspiration board on Pinterest!
