Slice of corn bread is a classic comfort food with roots in Native American and Southern cuisine, offering a rich, hearty flavor. Made primarily from cornmeal, flour, eggs, milk or buttermilk, and a touch of sweetness from sugar or honey, it delivers a soft, crumbly texture perfect for pairing with stews, soups, or barbecue. Corn bread is a good source of carbohydrates and provides some essential nutrients like B vitamins and fiber from the cornmeal. However, recipes often include butter or oil, contributing to its fat and calorie content, so portion control is important for those mindful of their diet. Gluten-free variations can be made using only cornmeal for those with sensitivities. Whether baked or prepared in a skillet, a slice of corn bread embodies the warmth and tradition of its cuisine while offering a satisfying treat.
