MAPLE-PECAN CORNBREAD
Our state trails only Vermont in the production of maple syrup in the U.S. I have many childhood memories of tapping our maple trees in early spring and watching the sap come out. Corn bread, or johnnycake as it's called here in scenic Mohawk Valley, was a staple of the men fighting in the Revolutionary War. The volunteers, who were known as "Johnnys", carried their rations with them, and the johnnycakes held up well for days.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Fresh corn kernels are ideal for this recipe, but you can also use frozen or canned corn if necessary.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cornbread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Preheat the Pan: Preheat a cast iron skillet or baking dish before adding the batter. This will help create a crispy crust.
- Bake at a High Temperature: Bake the cornbread at a high temperature (400°F) for a short amount of time (20-25 minutes). This will help create a light and fluffy interior.
- Add Optional Ingredients: Feel free to add other ingredients to your cornbread, such as chopped bell peppers, onions, or cheese. You can also add a glaze or drizzle of honey after baking for extra flavor.
