American
Cornbread
Cornbread is American home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the carb everything else is eaten with. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 8.5 oz cornbread mix
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp butter
How to cook it
- Heat the oven to 400F and grease an 8-inch baking pan.
- Whisk the cornbread mix with the egg, milk, and melted butter until just combined.
- Pour into the pan and bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
- Cool slightly, slice, and serve.
Serve it with
A American dinner is a plate rather than a single dish. These are the courses that normally sit beside Cornbread, read from the same composition Dinejot builds a real meal from.

Safe at your table
Dinejot tracks ten allergens and tags every one of them by hand, so the absences below are as deliberate as the presences. Cornbread carries dairy, gluten, and eggs. It is free of the remaining 7 allergens on that list.
| Allergen | In this dish | Cook this instead |
|---|---|---|
| Peanuts | No | |
| Tree nuts | No | |
| Dairy | Yes | Baked Sweet Potato |
| Gluten | Yes | Baked Potato |
| Shellfish | No | |
| Eggs | Yes | Baked Potato |
| Soy | No | |
| Fish | No | |
| Sesame | No | |
| Coconut | No |
These tags are set by a person rather than inferred from an ingredient list, and they describe the recipe as written here. Read the labels on whatever you actually buy.
What it brings to the plate
Bands, not numbers. Dinejot does not weigh anybody's food, so it says light, moderate or hearty and stops there. This dish was read and set by hand.

When to cook it
Cornbread takes about 30 minutes from a cold stove to the table, and the cooking itself is a fair bit of work. It is eaten at lunch and dinner. Nothing in the calendar rules it out, so it is a year round dish.
