Evaporated Milk Cornbread Recipe: When There's No Milk in the Fridge Bread/Muffins
My husband and I don't drink milk. You will find milk in my refrigerator only if a recipe calls for it. That's why I always have cans of evaporated milk in the pantry. When I made a pot of four-bean chili the other night, cornbread was a must. This evaporated milk cornbread recipe saved the day.
You can add any of the optional add-ins to the batter – or nothing at all. I chose to add some chopped green onions and cheddar cheese. Next time I'll also throw in some diced fresh jalapeno. Serve this cornbread with butter.
