Chef's Notes

  • It's easy to make a gluten free version of this by replacing the whole wheat flour with all-purpose gluten free flour or an additional cup of cornmeal.Make the perfect present for the foodie in your life by placing all the dry ingredients (ground corn flour instead of corn kernels) into a jar and providing the recipe with the gift.
