FOR THE RED CORNMEAL BATTER
3/4 cup red cornmeal (or you can use blue if you like)
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons aluminium-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3 tablespoons sunflower oil (or other light oil)
1 cup soymilk (unsweetened and plain)
1 cup pure maple syrup
1 (10 ounce) bag sweet corn (Divided in half and I used frozen and thawed it out)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
FOR THE YELLOW CORNMEAL BATTER
3/4 cup red cornmeal (or you can use blue if you like)
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons aluminium-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3 tablespoons sunflower oil (or other light oil)
1 cup soymilk (unsweetened and plain)
1 cup pure maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1
Preheat your oven to 350'F. If you live high in the mountains at 5,000 feet like I do I turn my oven down to 325'F.
2
Spray a 9x9 inch pan with oil. You can also use a 2-2 1/2 quart dish or cast iron skillet. You can heat the cast iron skillet in the oven while you're preparing the batter if you want, but this is optional.
3
Make each of the dry ingredients in seperate bowls. Do the same with the wet ingredients. I mixed the wet into the dry using my little hand mixer.
4
Once the batters were mixed I divided the bag of thawed kernal corn in half and put 1/2 into the red batter and 1/2 into the yellow batter.
5
I put the red batter into the oiled baking dish, then poured the yellow on top. The batter should be thin and easy to pour.
6
To make a design in the batter take a long skewer and make swirls in the batter.
7
Bake for 30-35 minutes. Test with a long toothpick or wooden skewer for doneness. The skewer should come out dry when put in the middle of the bread.
8
Serve with a nice bowl of stew. You can also warn this up a little and put a dollup of your favorite buttery spread on it.

Bon Appetit!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
