This golden cornbread bakes up with a tender, slightly sweet crumb and a beautifully crisp top that makes it hard to stop at one square. Cornmeal gives it that classic hearty texture, while a touch of vanilla and sugar rounds out the flavor with warmth in every bite. It comes together in one bowl of dry ingredients and one bowl of wet, folded together just until combined for the fluffiest results. Baked until golden and set, it slices clean and pairs perfectly with a smear of something sweet or a bowl of chili on the side. This one is a simple, satisfying pick for a vegetarian table, whether you're serving it alongside dinner or enjoying a square on its own.
