• Super-easy brown butter cornbread

I have this recipe for cornbread that I found ages ago. (I have no idea where.) It's called "The Best Cornbread," and I've used it as a base for all the cornbreads I've made over the years. We recently moved to Austin, where my stepson and daughter-in-law live, and her family has a pre-Thanksgiving tradition of a Texas chili dinner the night before Thanksgiving. I bring the cornbread. I'm embarrassed to admit that it was only recently that I began browning the butter for the cornbread—I've had so many butter mishaps—burning butter, forgetting to add it to recipes, miscalculating (sticks? cups? ounces?)…. Browning the butter seemed like too much to ask. Except that it adds a layer of deliciousness that is totally worth babysitting it to make sure it doesn't burn. (And that you don't forget to add it…..) <br /> <br />You can serve the cornbread directly from the pan.
