You will find this simple gluten free cornbread recipe takes an unusual step.

Did you find that odd-ball step?

Yup, I am talking about the part that says to beat the egg whites until they are stiff. I have no idea why this is needed. I am not sure these muffins are any fluffier because of this. As a matter of fact, I find these cornbread muffins to be a bit denser than what I usually make.

How to make gluten free old-fashioned cornbread:

After you mix up your dry ingredients, whip your egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Beat the yolks separately and add to the egg whites. Mix gently.

Add this mixture to your cornbread dough.

Mix it up and add it to a lightly greased muffin tin.
