This turned out to be one of those “What have I got to lose?” experiments that turned into something fantastic!
I’m not saying I know everything. Far from it. And in fact, even if I know how to do something and my way is working just fine, I’m all for learning a new way to go about it, a twist, a tip, a trick, or just a variation. (Heck, just see the previous post!) But there are some people in this world who are *so* all about “I know best” and “My way is the right way.” Ugh!
I’m not a big fan of cornbread, but as a good Italain girl (at least the half my Mama raised!), I am a big fan of cornmeal. Whether boiled into a soft polenta, fried into a hard one, or added to a cake or other dessert recipe—count me in! There is just something about that bit of nutty texture that I find so appealing as it grinds beneath my teeth. Particularly in baked-goods: adding in some cornmeal seems to add gravitas to what would otherwise be a dainty dessert.
