I know my mom does that. I just started adding the AP flour because I found it easier to cut and serve as it made it not so prone to just crumble apart. I understand about food allergies, though. We've been there. Course I had to make millet bread for an alternative because my daughter went through an allergic to corn phase. I finally got that recipe to work gluten free, but it wasn't the same as cornbread.

If you want crunchy fried tasting cornbread, I'd definitely look up how to make it in a cast iron skillet. You dump the cornbread batter into a cast iron frying pan that has been preheating in the oven and it lends to a really crunchy bottom to the cornbread once it is baked.

She insisted that we order corn bread -- they halved it, buttered it, and grilled it on the cut side until it was nicely browned, and served it with grape jelly. Best I've ever had and have not been able to replicate the corn bread. Will give your recipe a try.

I use the box, add three beaten eggs, one cup of sour cream and one can of creamed corn, and bake at 350. Yum.

I'm with you about the course ground meal,I prefer a finer grind myself.I make a 9 by 9 pan once a week. It is good for breakfast,dinner and snacking. It's to die for hot,buttered and drizzled with honey!
