I teach at some of the cooking schools above Loblaws stores in York Region and the surrounding areas.
One day, when I was getting ready to teach a class, all the ladies started talking about a Mexican chef who had recently been there and made the best cornbread. I told them that I had been on a quest to make a really good cornbread because every recipe claims to be the best and it always turns out dry and bland. They all said, “you HAVE to try this one…it will knock your socks off”.
So, one of the assistants that helped out at the school gave me a copy of the recipe, and, sure enough, they were right! It is the most moist cornbread that almost tastes like dessert but they said she told them it is authentic and is usually served with hot sauce and sour cream. I made my first batch on Christmas Eve and it disappeared in minutes…especially hot out of the oven!
So, here you go…totally easy, totally fast, totally “gluten free” and totally awesome!
