This lightly sweet cornbread pairs well with chili and soups and is just the right size for one or two people. Dip it in a glass of buttermilk for a truly Southern snack.

This recipe for Corn Bread comes from The Ultimate Cooking For One Cookbook: 175 Super Easy Recipes Make Just For You by Joanie Zisk of OneDishKitchen.com.

It’s an easy recipe to follow and make and you probably have the ingredients in your pantry and fridge right now.  It’s the perfect size for baking in a toaster oven if you have one, but of course, you can always bake it in a regular-sized oven, too.

Cornbread freezes well, so if you find that the generous portion is too much for one, wrap half well in plastic wrap and freeze.  It should last for a few months.
