Long time ago, corn bread was made with 100% cornmeal, without adding any other flour. I remember my auntie ( my mother's older sister who took care of me while my parents worked) making it regularly.

They were beautiful! I've researched...

I'd appreciate if you let me know what photo looks best to you.  (For...
