Thanks to this juicy and flavorful entrée from Giada De Laurentiis, our forthcoming Thanksgiving will be the best one ever.

On November 10th, De Laurentiis posted a bright, mouthwatering photo of the essential appetizer to duplicate this Thanksgiving meal on her Instagram profile @thegiadzy. She captioned it, “@giadadelaurentiis calls cornbread the “cornerstone of Thanksgiving,” and with this recipe, we can see why. Does your Thanksgiving table always include cornbread? Giada’s buttermilk cornbread recipe can be found by clicking the link in our profile. ”

De Laurentiis’s recommendation means this must be included in the Thanksgiving menu right now. This recipe is simple enough for a beginner to make, and fast enough for a last-minute party, to make the light, airy appetizer of your dreams. All-purpose flour, sour cream, kosher salt, cornmeal, and other dry goods should be on hand to make the moist, tasty treat.

The satiating, nut-free snack has quite a few components, but it’s a breeze to recreate. First, you’ll need to butter the pan and preheat the oven, and then it’ll only be a matter of minutes before your food is golden and delicious.

The Thanksgiving dinner was the best it’s ever been.
