Description

In our house growing up, my mother and aunt were two peas in a pod. Truth be told, they still are. So, when it came to whipping up meals for the family, they often worked in tandem. If it was a night for Mommy's chili--that meant Auntie's cornbread was also coming to the party. My aunt adds a touch more sugar to her batter. It gives the perfect touch of sweetness to balance out the spice of my mom's chili. Adding butter to the bottom of the pan before pouring in the batter also creates a crust that helps it stand up to the heartiness of the chili. Crispy. Sweet. And buttery. Nothing could be better.
