Breakfast, cornbread with orange butter recipe

cornbread with orange butter

When I lived in Brazil I seldom ate cornbread, we call it broa de milho, mainly at friends houses and every time it was a different experience. Every household has its own special family recipe passed from generation to generation and invariably evolving everytime. There are so many delicious recipes out there and many variations on flavours.

Cornbread is a quick and easy recipe perfect for instant gratification. This recipe looks more like a cake, in Brazil we call this type of bread, broa, than a proper old fashion bread. Still, it is delicious and it is the highlight of any bread basket. Enjoy it!

Recipe writing made easy with logitech keyboard, an ultra magnetic clip-on keyboard cover, a brilliant gadget that helps me to write and re-write recipe on the ipad as I cook along. I had it for a while now and it’s very useful in the kitchen while cooking to display the recipes and when I am recipe testing. Very practical when I travel to type emails and do some blogging on the road. Just love this piece of equipment!
