Hopi Blue Flour Corn Bread

Hopi Blue Corn has been grown for thousands of years, and I love the fact that it’s an open pollinated, nutrient dense, highly digestible corn. We have been growing this corn on our farm for several years. The first year we didn’t get very good yields and most of the corn fell over. Over time I selected all the best ears from plants that were still standing and have been able to produce a very reliable, drought tolerant, and flavorful corn that rarely falls over. Praise the Lord.

Any flour or dent corn will work for this recipe, but we love the color and flavor of the blue corn best. We spread our grain-free, pastured (during the growing season) butter and top it off with our own maple syrup from silver maples located close to our farm.

As always it’s important to source quality ingredients for the best flavor, nutrients, digestibility, and energy promoting food.
