This is another excellent recipe from our friend, Gesine Bullock-Prado, from her cookbook, My Vermont Table. This is a great rendition of cornbread, made just a tad sweet with our Sugarmaker’s Cut or Sugarmaker’s Dark pure maple.

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all purpose flour

  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground sumac (optional)

  3. Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sumac (optional), in a large bowl.

  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Fold in the chilis (if using).
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cornbread springs back when gently poked.
