I believe corn bread is the shining star of any holiday feast. And what better way to indulge in this delectable delight than to try recipes from two legends themselves – the incomparable Dolly Parton and the divine Ina Garten.
In my culinary adventures, I’ve already fallen head over heels for Garten’s potato gratin and her mind-blowing mac and cheese. So, I was eager to explore her corn bread recipe. But let’s not forget the multi-talented Dolly Parton, who is not only a musical sensation but also a kitchen prodigy with her own corn bread masterpiece.

With just three main ingredients and a sprinkle of magic, Parton creates a corn bread that radiates simplicity and flavor. Although it may not have the staying power of Garten’s creation, this corn bread is perfect for a laid-back breakfast or dinner. Pair it with some peach jam, and you’ll be transported to corn bread heaven.
I must confess, after this epic showdown, Garten’s brown-butter skillet corn bread emerges as the true champion. Its breathtaking golden hue, enhanced by the luscious brown butter, makes it a showstopper on any holiday table. And the best part? It’s just as delicious even days later, maintaining its moist and fluffy texture.
