  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup 2 percent milk
  • 3 drops vinegar (the baking soda will neutralize it, but meanwhile it will help the bread rise)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Stuffing Ingredients:

  • 2 slices white bread (preservative free) crust removed, torn in pieces
  • 3/4 cup frozen broccoli (partially thaw and chop in 1/2" pieces)

To make the cornbread:

2. Make a well in the center.
3. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, vinegar, egg and oil.
4. Pour the liquid ingredients into the well and gently stir until all is moistened.
5. Spray a 7-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
6. Pour in the cornmeal batter and spread evenly.

To make the stuffing:
