BROWN BUTTER CORNBREAD RECIPE

Chef Kevin’s Brown Butter Cornbread is a great addition to any meal, especially summertime BBQs, and is a big hit in our kitchen. If you are planning to grill or cook for any Father’s Day celebrations this week, we think this would be an excellent (and relatively simple) addition to show your appreciation. This cornbread recipe is naturally gluten-free, and the brown butter in this adds a deeper flavor, making it a sure crowd pleaser.
