Name: Blue Cornmeal Bread
Yield: Makes about 28 pieces
Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour; 1 3/4 cups blue cornmeal* or yellow cornmeal; 1 cup sugar; 1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted; 3/4 teaspoon baking powder; 3/4 teaspoon baking soda; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 1 1/4 cups whole milk; 3/4 cup vegetable oil; 3 large eggs; 1/2 cup buttermilk; 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed, drained

"Coyotes Deli & Grill in Banff makes the most amazing blue corn bread," writes Donna Sanché of Toronto, Ontario. "My husband and I had dinner there not long ago, and enjoyed the entire meal — but the corn bread was definitely the highlight. I've told all of my friends about it, and now I'd like to make it for them."

This sweet corn bread is best served warm. If you can't find blue cornmeal, don't worry: Yellow cornmeal works well, too.
