I like the cornbread recipe in Carol Fenster's book, sorry can't remember which one right now. Actually, I think it's in several of her books. 27.

Do you have a copy of the Joy of Cooking? I always use the crackling corn bread recipe, simply substituting either all corn meal, or corn flour for the regular flour. Works every time. If you don't have JofC let me know, and I'll send you the recipe as I've modified it. 29. I make homemade cornbread using Aunt Jemima Cornmeal and Bob's Red Mill GF all-purpose blend. Turns out great. 30. I bought some corn meal from the grocery store and followed the recipe on the box for "traditional" cornbread, substituting Arrowhead Mills GF All Purpose Baking Mix for the flour that was called for in the recipe. It was a little bit wet in my opinion as a dough/batter, but everything baked up fine, and generally tasted okay. However, I'm more of a sweeter cornbread fan, so I attempted a second batch using the "sweet cornbread" recipe off the box of cornmeal. This recipe has more flour in it than cornmeal. This time I tried using Bette Hagman's recipe for GF flour (2 parts rice, 2/3 part potato starch, and 1/3 part tapioca starch) for the flour called for in the recipe because I thought it would taste better. The batter was extremely wet, and I attempted to add some additional cornmeal to thicken it up, but I probably didn't add enough, and the additional stirring also tends to dry out cornbread. So, I ended up with cornbread muffins that were sweet but dry in some spots, and very gooey/sticky in other spots. Not very tasty. I will probably try that recipe again with some modifications and see if it works better. 31.
