Most cornbread recipes contain sugar or maple syrup making them sweet. I prefer cornbread savory and was inspired to create my own version after seeing an almost sugar free version in a cookbook. I altered it to be gluten free, removed the sugar and added in some fresh corn, peppadews and parsley for flavor and texture. The result is a savory gluten free cornbread that is delicious on its own, smothered with some butter, or my personal favorite, served alongside (and dipped into) a roasted tomato soup like this one. Or if you’re pressed for time and ingredients, this pantry staple one.
