MOM'S CORNBREAD
"CORN BREAD just seems to go with chili, especially here in the Southwest, even though Mom's chili is considerably different than the kind that is normally served around here. Mom always made a fresh batch of corn bread when she'd cook up a pot of chili. It just didn't seem right to have one without the other."

Tips:
- Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal has a better flavor and texture than store-bought cornmeal. If you can, grind your own cornmeal from dried corn kernels.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a hot oven: The oven should be preheated to at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the cornbread. This will help the cornbread rise and get a crispy crust.
- Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the cornbread is done baking.
- Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This will help the cornbread hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
