Cornbread was being made by Native Americans long before the Mayflower came to America. The earliest recipe was called "pone", from the Algonquin word "apan". It is a simple mixture of cornmeal, salt, and water.

Cornbread is one of the easiest and cheapest dishes to make. It is also very versatile.

Favorite variations

Some of my favorites are to add fresh corn cut from the cob and add sauteed jalapenos or Serrano around the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into the pan. Everyone you serve it to will love it this way. If you don't have a cast iron skillet bake it in a round, square or rectangular cake pan.
