Cornbread is a simple and budget-friendly quickbread made from polenta that’s popular in the Southern states of America with origins in Native American cuisine.

Made with polenta and corn kernels, this cheesy yeast-free bread makes a great side for a rich chilli or stew, and is just as good on it’s own or served with generous lashings of butter.
