Here’s a good-old New England recipe. Flavored with a hint of maple syrup, the corn bread makes a perfect companion to spicy chili or stew. –Roger Hickum of Plymouth, New Hampshire

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup fat-free milk
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions
