Buttermilk Cornbread
I have been experimenting with a new baking ingredient, crude corn bran, as it only has 6 net carbs per oz (1/3 c.), compared to 15 net carbs for the same amount of whole cornmeal. I miss my cornbread when I have pork chops or smoked pork. What can I say? I’m a southern girl.
My first experiment came out good enough to crumble up into casseroles that call for corn tortillas. But not good enough in texture to slice and eat as bread. Tonight’s experiment came out good enough in texture and flavor to butter and enjoy. Hubby and I found it quite close to real cornbread in taste! Texture wasn’t quite as grainy, but taste was very close. Appearance was pretty good, too, I thought. I consider this recipe a work in progress, as I am just learning about crude corn bran. So as I discover improvements, this recipe will be changed here. This recipe is not suitable until the grains rung of the OWL phase of Atkins.
