[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Old Fashioned Corn Bread - 34.5g Carbs, 3g Fiber, 6.9g Sugar (8 Servings)

 

This is my favorite recipe for cornbread. It is also my favorite brand of cornmeal! I use 2 cups of buttermilk. I do not eat it sweet due to my diabetes. Sometimes I add things into this recipe such as: shredded zucchini, grated white Mexican cheese and some roasted New Mexico Peppers (found them frozen at Wal-Mart). Of course, the cooking time will need to be adjusted. Be sure to use a cast iron pan (fry pan or dutch oven if adding other ingredients) for this and preheat in the oven with the shortening. Roll the melted shortening around the base and sides before putting batter in! This will make a big difference in how crispy the outer edges get...
and oh my... is it yummy!!

Enjoy!! AND Take care, Gloria
