The caramel sweetness makes the Gouda really different. And it is easy to use in sandwiches, egg dishes and such. I can’t hold myself to eat when it just remove from the oven and still very hot. It tastes like I am in the heaven and I can assure you that you can’t get rid of its flavour once you bake and taste in your oven!The outside is crispy, as for the inside, it is really soft and fluffy. The sausage throughout the bread is ridiculously tasty. When top with some maple syrup, I just can’t describe how wonderful it is. Never in my life did I ever imagine cornbread could taste so damn good with syrup sausage! each and every savory bite added with maple syrup, just makes this cornbread become much more enjoyable to eat. The cornbread is best on the day it is baked, though it actually can be kept for a day or two when stored in an airtight container. And if you like a crispier crust on your cornbread, just grease the Cast iron skillet and place it in the oven for 10 minutes to heat. Scoop the batter into the hot pan and return it to the oven to bake as directed. And you will get what you want. So why not make this comfort food for your next morning?
