Sweet Corn Bread with Maple Butter

I am a cornbread fan. So when it comes to this time of year, I just love a bowl of soup with a piece of cornbread on the side like this Sweet Corn Bread with Maple Butter.
I do prefer my cornbread to be more on the cake-like side. I like it light and fluffy rather than dense. So, when I came across this recipe that called for whipped egg whites, I was intrigued.
I have never made a corn bread recipe where you fold in whipped egg whites. However, I figure it should be nice and cake-like. I was right, it was light, tender, and delicious.
Usually, I always serve corn bread with honey butter, but this time I had the idea to make maple butter. It was equally delicious and the 2 together were AMAZING! Try it, I think you’ll like it!
