\"Squares<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If I’m feeding a crowd and I want some bread for the table, this is one of the options I reach for, especially when I don’t have too much time and can’t buy something at the bakery. Corny Cornbread Squares is cornbread, but with real corn kernels inside and it’s delicious! This is a savoury cornbread recipe, but it does have a tiny sugary sprinkling, so it’s kind of the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love serving this cornbread with just about anything, but it’s especially delicious with barbecued meats. I personally love to load mine up with so much butter I leave teethmarks in it and it makes the perfect side dish. Corny Cornbread is also a lovely colour, so it looks great on the table too. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
