Lately I've been substituting 1-1/4 cups brown rice flour mix for the two starches. It turns out really good with a little less white and a little more nutrition.
Some Southern bakers can tell when cornbread is done just by listening to it. If you're not at that level yet, try these foolproof muffins with salsa and melty Cheddar cheese.
