My Favorite Gluten Free Cornbread Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. (If using an 8-inch cast iron skillet, place into oven before preheating. Heat skillet for at least 10 minutes.)
• Prepare the batter. Whisk together gluten-free cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Add the milk, eggs, and oil. Whisk until combined. Batter should look almost smooth. A few lumps remaining is normal.
• Bake. If using a skillet, remove skillet from oven and place on a heatproof surface. Grease with nonstick cooking spray or brush generously with vegetable oil.If using an 8-inch round cake pan, grease the pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Pour batter into pan. Bake until set, about 15 minutes. The cornbread should spring back when touched.
• Cool and serve. Allow cornbread to cool for about five minutes before cutting into pieces.
• Store. Wrap cornbread and store on the counter overnight. Or cool thoroughly, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to two months. Allow cornbread to thaw on the counter.

OLD FASHIONED GLUTEN FREE CORNBREAD | THE ORIGINAL BEST RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet or an 8-inch square or round pan, and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, place the cornmeal (See Recipe Notes), baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and whisk to combine well. In a separate bowl, place the yogurt (or buttermilk or sour cream and milk mixture), butter, and egg, and whisk to combine well.
• Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients and the honey. Mix until just combined. The mixture will be relatively thin (thinner if you used buttermilk). Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes (closer to 20 minutes if using a cast iron skillet, closer to 25 minutes if you made the all purpose gluten free flour variation), or until lightly golden brown on top, golden brown around the edges, and firm to the touch in the center. Slice and serve immediately.
