This is another excellent recipe from our friend, Gesine Bullock-Prado, from her cookbook, My Vermont Table. This is a great rendition of cornbread, made just a tad sweet with our Sugarmaker’s Cut or Sugarmaker’s Dark pure maple.

2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground sumac (optional)
