Non-Grainy Cornbread

We have found that we love cornbread in our house! It took a few tries to find the right recipe but, at least for us, the search is over. My husband likes to drizzle honey over his cornbread but I love it simple and plain.
The key to ensuring that your cornbread isn't grainy is to soak the cornmeal in the milk. It makes a huge difference! This is a quick and easy side dish that can go with a variety of meals and uses ingredients that you likely already have in the cupboards.
