Bread & Circus corn bread

Corn bread isn't hard to make. All it takes is milk or cream, cornmeal, flour, sugar, eggs, and salt. But good corn bread is another matter entirely, involving tender coddling during the mixing process and an artist's eye for doneness. Bread & Circus makes a sweet, moist, crumbly incarnation -- edible Americana you can enjoy as a snack or with dinner. Or cut it into little pieces and serve it as an hors d'oeuvre with ham, the way the late James Beard liked it. A hulking six-inch-square slab of corn bread costs $1.99 at Bread & Circus.
