Used Bob’s Mill medium grind cornmeal (polenta) for a nice bite. Used the recommended sugar but don’t really think you need it. Would never put pepper in cornbread - my Georgia relatives would have a good-spirited laugh over that ingredient (and the sugar). They’d also laugh but forgive me for using unsweetened original almond milk. The times, they do change!
No way this needs to bake for 30 minutes at 425. I took it out at 17.
Good basic cornbread recipe. The pepper is added because this recipe was intended to be used in cornbread dressing.
