Actress Jennifer Garner shared her homemade recipe for American classic cornbread

Actress Jennifer Garner is quite the whizz in the kitchen and often shares videos of herself baking on her Instagram page. Her latest clip shows the 13 going on 30 star cooking traditional American cornbread, with the recipe handed down from her own mother.

We absolutely love how Jennifer has her mum on video call throughout the baking process so she gets the recipe just right. Hands up who does this?

On her Instagram page, the movie star wrote: “I call my mom every time I make cornbread—even though I’ve written the recipe in every notebook, even though I am sure I could toss it together in my sleep. Maybe watching this will show you why, perhaps, I just like to call my mom.”
