It's not authentic and that's why I felt I had to comment... Although cornbread is a humble dish, it is still traditional and just like styles of pizza, Christmas dishes, or family recipes, it's hard to call anything but the real thing the real thing. Although I do appreciate the desire to innovate, food traditions are something important to observe, pass down, and celebrate as I'm sure you know well, thus my comment. My post was not to antagonize, I actually found it humorous that this recipe solves a problem that doesn't even exist in my tradition! Happy baking. Thanks, Rob. I'm always, always happy to find people eager to hold onto traditions, food cultures that have been passed from generation to generation. And I totally understand the emotion that can come with these traditions; it's the spiritual energy that carries them ever onward. This gluten-free cornbread, with its sugar and flour, isn't cornbread in the original sense of the word; rather it's shorthand for people wanting to bake what they've come to know, in our modern culture, as cornbread. Bottom line: I value your information, and thank you for sharing it; keep fighting the good fight! PJH
