Cornbread
There’s one side dish I must always have with barbecue… It’s CORNBREAD!!! I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved the cornbread/barbecue combination since I was a child. My favorite way to eat cornbread is straight from the oven with a little bit of butter. This cornbread recipe will make a great side dish for your barbecue ribs or pulled pork! If you like super sweet cornbread, feel free to add more sugar. I add kernel corn and make them not as sweet.
I normally use an 8-Inch Square Pan, but my husband complained that not every piece had a nice crust. So to make my husband happy, I used a 12-Cup Muffin Pan and each little piece came out with a nice crust.
This recipe makes 12 pieces
