Inspired by the possibilities that my teff-flour pancake last night laid before me, I cranked out a batch of Everything muffins this afternoon--everything but the wheat gluten, anyway

Oh cool! Bear in mind that this is a non-professional recipe from a rather vague and hand-wavy baker. Adjust things as you think is needed and trust your instincts more than my recipe!
I have the 1999 Food & Wine annual (from Book Sale) and Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock's recipe for SOuthern Cornbread has: 4T unsalted butter 3 cups white cornmeal, preferably stone-ground 2 t cream of tartar 2 t salt 1 t baking soda 3 c buttermilk 4 large eggs, beaten
450 degree oven, cooked in a 10-inch cast iron skillet (melt the butter in the oven then pour in the batter; bake for about 35 mins). If Miss Lewis says that cornbread does not have flour in it, she should know!
That sounds delicious. I saw a GF recipe the other day that called for masa harina, and I realised that of course, corn meal, flour, and starch are all perfectly good GF options. I've never made cornbread with no wheat flour, though.
Must be almost a custardy effect, with all those eggs and all that buttermilk. It really sounds wonderful.

Since posting that recipe I've learned a bit more about GF baking, and I believe that two things will make them better: a bit more liquid and letting the batter sit and rest for an hour before putting the muffins in the oven.
As to a portrait, hah! I'm over 50. I can't stand seeing pictures of myself, so there really aren't any. Have a super-flattering cartoon instead.
