cornbread on the stove

Sunday is no-work-day which... can get quite boring. Decided to finally try making some cornbread on the stove because 1) cornbread is great, 2) maizemeal is a staple around here, 3) I wondered if white maizemeal would translate into white cornbread, 4) I miss baking (and having an oven!!).

The batter did not turn out white, like I thought it would. I think the egg added some colour to it despite the flour and maizemeal being very white. 

I tried a large spoonful before taking the picture, oops

... and the bottom totally burnt.

But the burnt layer came off pretty easily.

While perhaps not visually exciting, it was quite delicious.

If only I could get the bottom not to burn. I used the lowest heat I could and greased the pan pretty well. I think I was supposed to flip it halfway through. Will try that next time. If there is a next time. There probably will be.
