Baking with whole cornmeal was difficult than I thought. So I wasn’t expecting a lot of entries this time but my foodie-buddies have proved me wrong again by sending in a lot of whole cornmeal recipes, more than I expected. This time I had trouble baking with cornmeal because I couldn’t get the fine grind variety. What I was able to get was the medium grind and it gave a very gritty texture to the baked goods.

So its obvious that I do not like the combination of tart cranberries and sweet in baked goods. Anyhow I decided to give it a shot once again this cranberry season.
