img src="http://www.101cookbooks.com/mt-static/images/food/firecracker_cornbread_recipe.jpg" / pBefore we get to the the cornbread, I wanted to mention that I've posted my favorite a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/vegetarian-thanksgiving-recipes-recipe.html"vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes/a as well as my favorite a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/vegan-thanksgiving-recipes-recipe.html"vegan Thanksgiving recipes/a in two neat and tidy lists. Not included (yet) is this cornbread recipe. If you think you might like a moist, tender buttermilk cornbread packed with corn kernels and flecked with red pepper flakes, this is the recipe to try. Last year I did a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/yeastraised-cornbread-recipe.html"yeast-raised cornbread/a for Thanksgiving, and I decided to head in the opposite direction this year. I was after a more traditional cornbread, but added a bit of a spicy twist. I infused a few tablespoons of butter with spicy red pepper flakes, heated them in the pan I would eventually bake the cornbread in, added the batter, baked it off, and ended up with a nice crusty, slightly sweet cornbread with the perfect amount of kick to it./p pimg border="0" width="475" src="http://www.101cookbooks.com/mt-static/images/food/firecracker_cornbread_recipe_2.jpg" alt="Firecracker Cornbread Recipe" //p pI actually started thinking about doing a firecracker cornbread around the time I was writing about fire oil in the context of a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/hummus-en-fuego-recipe.html"this hummus recipe/a. Good in lots of things - hummus, muffins....breads. I made a note to self to try it in my next batch of cornbread. I also considered (alternately) doing a spicy simple syrup and using that within the context of the cornbread batter. I decided on the infused butter route because it would help give the cornbread a bit of a butter crust (because it isn't incorporated into the batter)...but think of all the fun thinkings you could do with a spicy simple syrup.br / /p ba href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/firecracker-cornbread-recipe.html"Continue reading Firecracker Cornbread.../a/b pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/5Yvx8MpT5vw-eJlfMGFPbqMqvyk/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/5Yvx8MpT5vw-eJlfMGFPbqMqvyk/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.101cookbooks.com/~f/101Cookbooks?a=0BleiARN"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/101Cookbooks?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.101cookbooks.com/~f/101Cookbooks?a=vCjdnF7c"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/101Cookbooks?i=vCjdnF7c" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.101cookbooks.com/~f/101Cookbooks?a=LGrsekRb"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/101Cookbooks?i=LGrsekRb" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/101Cookbooks/~4/IfjtapXeoO4" height="1" width="1"/
