Corn Pocket Rolls

I found this General Mills, Inc recipe and tried it today to serve with the chili I made. It was its interesting taco like shape that caught my eye. They had them plain on a plate but I can see putting a little filling inside. It is a simple cornbread but is made thicker than regular cornbread so you can shape them.

Corn, known as maize to ancient Indians of North and South America, was once the staple of their diet. When Europeans began arriving in the New World, they found a native population that consumed many dishes made with corn, which was unknown in the European diet. And know thing of all the cultures in the world that have traditional recipes with corn.

This is a delicious, new recipe using corn meal.
