  • “Seved this with a mexican feast I made my husband for Valentine’s Day. I omitted the chillies and pimientos and used some diced green capsicum and some crushed chilli for a bit of spice. Cooked it in patty pans so we had little bread rolls. I’d never made cornbread before so was pleasantly surprised. It was quite yummy!Just wanted to add that this will only keep for a few days so make sure you freeze any leftovers!”

  • “I used some hot peppers from the garden that had some heat in this bread.The texture was a little moist but it was very delicious.Went well with the bean soup I had made.”
