Yield: 12
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 11/4 cup cornmeal; 3/4 cup Japanese Non-Gluten Rice Flour; 1/4 cup tapioca flour; 1/4 cup arrowroot or potato starch; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 cup sugar; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 cup sour cream; 1 cup buttermilk; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted; 2 large eggs; 11/2 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn

This crumbly quick bread is a staple of the Southern cuisine and is typically served with soups and stews. It is also super delicious eaten warm from the oven with a little maple butter smeared on top.

The Japanese Non-Gluten Rice Flour makes it melt-in-the mouth tender and the sweet corn kernels enhance the flavor and make it even more appetizing. You may experiment with adding sliced jalapenos (or other green chilies), sundried tomatoes, or cheese to the batter.

We baked it in a muffin pan to get individual portions, but feel free to use a loaf pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

To preserve the freshness, it is best to store any leftover cornbread in the freezer and reheat as needed.

Fun fact: The Native Americans are credited for creating the Southern version of the cornbread.
