If you too feel like getting into the holiday spirit and feeling like Americans for a day, we have put together three recipes for three iconic dishes that are usually prepared at Christmas in the United States.

Cornbread with a twist
One of the dishes most associated with American cuisine during the holiday season is cornbread - a dish that originates from the southern United States, which is based, as you can understand from its name, on corn flour.
In the United States, unlike other places in the world where corn bread is also commonly prepared, the bread is brushed with butter or honey as soon as it comes out of the oven, and thus a creamy and sweet layer is obtained that adds a winning twist.
