On the other end of the ingredient spectrum, flour, or lack thereof, can also contribute to cornbread's texture and density. Delishably reminds us that cornbread should be a bit crumbly (it is cornbread, after all) but it shouldn't fall apart before it reaches your mouth. That's where flour comes in.

Corn is naturally gluten free. The protein in corn is sometimes referred to as “corn gluten” but it is not harmful to those with celiac disease.

The black specks are simply naturally dark pieces of the pericarp (skin) of the corn, where the tip of the kernel attaches to the cob. The color of the specks will vary by crop and year. They are the same as those commonly seen in hard taco shells, corn or tortilla chips, cornmeal, and natural whole corn products.

Butter adds flavor and color, while oil keeps the crumb tender and moist. Brown Sugar: We add some sugar to our cornbread and prefer to use brown sugar. The flavor combination of cornmeal and brown sugar works well. If you only have white sugar, that's okay.

Why does my corn muffin taste bitter? ›
