Cornbread - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 19

Cornbread isn't gluten, right? Should be safe, right? Except. Yes, except most bakers add wheat flour to cornbread to improve its consistency. It is included in many cornbread mixes. Be aware of this when ordering meals in restaurants, as well. The servers and cooks will have no idea if flour is added to the cornbread mix. Cornbread has many varieties. Extra sugar, or honey, makes a breakfast cornbread, sometimes fried. Less sugar is in baked cornbread for chili or potato soup. A quick easy snack, as well as a sore throat softener. It freezes well in individual servings for chilly, wintery days.
