RECIPE Corn bread


I posted some pictures from Thanksgiving the other day and am happy that some of my friends and family in Japan asked me the recipes because they wanted to try it on Christmas. 

I baked these corn bread this morning again. It's very simple & quick. Also it's the best when it's hot. Just throw into your mouth right off the oven!

90 g cornmeal   (コーンミール)
