Cajun Cornbread

Cajun Cornbread has a blend of Cajun seasons blended with some stone ground corn meal, this makes a slice of cornbread you wont forget. We love our cornbread here at the cottage and this cornbread recipe is a spicy blend that will kick up any meal. I am often ask to bring my Cajun Cornbread to a covered dish event, one skillet full doesn't last very long.

Recipe Tips

This cornbread will appear to be darker because the cornmeal is stone ground.

After serving, rermove the cornbread to a safe dish. Do Not leave it in the iron skillet over night, it will take on an iron taste.

Enjoy!
