| Cornbread is a staple of the American South, traditionally made with cornmeal, lard, buttermilk and sugar and served with BBQ, chilli or soup. |
Here we have created a Hodmedods interpretation with our new Coarse Pea Flour. While developing this recipe I gave some to an American friend who was equal parts unimpressed and confused. So I feel the need to preface the recipe by saying although pea flour and cornmeal look similar, they have quite different flavour profiles, so this isn't strictly cornbread and might not be one for cornbread purists. Where cornbread is quite sweet, pea bread is satisfying savoury and hearty.
Pea bread is easy, quick and cheap to make, perfect for week-night dinners and packed lunches and as an added bonus it’s high in protein, fibre and gluten free. It would work perfectly with our recipes for Slow Cooker Bean & Pea Chilli or any of our soups.
This recipe can be easily adapted for different flavours; try adding cheese or fresh herbs. This works equally well with Coarse Green Pea Flour.

This pie of creamy, zesty greens encased in a crisp spelt crust, more like a very thin bread than a pastry, is perfect sliced and served with salad. The filling makes use of leftover lemon rind, finely sliced, by cooking it down until mild and soft but still full of flavour.

Wheat bran is a wonderful ingredient if you’re looking to increase your fibre consumption as it contains over 40g of fibre in 100g of bran. It works beautifully in cakes, especially in combination with wet ingredients like sweet potato and apple, because it absorbs a lot of water, making the final bake just the right level of moist. The mouthfeel of this tea loaf is not dissimilar to corn bread.
