CINNAMON CORNBREAD
From the Family Suppers cookbook which I sent to my swap partner FloridaNative. This is super!! I just had to try it. You can also make it a spicy cornbread by subbing out the cinnamon and adding 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes and reducing the sugar to 3 tbls instead of 1/3 cup. We loved it as cinnamon cornbread! I do not have a skillet, so I melted the butter in an 9-inch round baking stone (first step).

- Add eggs and milk and stir until just blended. Then stir in remaining butter.
- Using a rubber spatula, scrape the batter into the skillet and smooth the top.

- Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
SWEET POTATO CORNBREAD
I think this is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas, an alternative to the usual sweet potato casserole and plain cornbread. You can probably get 1 cup of mashed sweet potatoes from just one potato, but make two and eat what's left. Adapted from Canadian House and Home magazine.

STEPHANIE L. TYSON'S SWEET POTATO CORNBREAD
North Carolina and sweet potatoes go way back. To this day, the state is a national leader in growing the crop. Stephanie L. Tyson, the chef who oversees the kitchen at a Winston-Salem spot called (appropriately) Sweet Potatoes, likes to blend one Southern staple into another. And here, the result is a cornbread laced with a holiday-friendly undercurrent of cinnamon and nutmeg. Ms. Tyson has said that the cornbread just clicks with a side of greens, but we have a feeling it will play well with cranberries and gravy, too.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth sweet potatoes with no blemishes. Avoid any that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best, but you can also use frozen or canned corn. If using frozen corn, thaw it before using. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: This will help the cornbread to rise and cook evenly.
- Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This will make it easier to slice and serve.
Conclusion:
This sweet potato cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist and flavorful, with a slightly sweet taste that is complemented by the cinnamon honey butter. Whether you are serving it at a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, this cornbread is sure to be a hit.
