Southern boys love their cornbread, this is a cornbread to lust after.  Cornbread is a popular item in southern American cuisine.  It's enjoyed by many people for its texture and scent. Cornbread can be baked, fried or, rarely, *gasp* steamed. Steamed cornbreads are mushy, chewier and more akin to a cornmeal pudding or polenta than what most consider to be traditional cornbread.

Cornbread can be sweet or savory, I've opted for the latter here. I love it with as an accompaniment to Chile Con Carne. I've jazzed up the standard cornbread with a lime, coriander and jalapeno to echo the flavours that go with the American southwest.

This can be baked in individual muffin tins or a small round cake tin.
