The Writing is on the Container-GF Cornbread

Today I was hunting around the internet for a GF Cornbread recipe that would use some of the things I had around the house. Most had buttermilk, or some complex combination of flours and xanthum gum, or involved entirely too much butter. I went over to look at my generic cornmeal and lo and behold there was the perfect "stuff around the house" recipe. I substituted the 1.25C of all purpose flour with what I had left of my Bob's Red Mill GF AP Flour (about 3/4 of a cup) and then topped it off with Bob's GF Baking Mix (which has baking powder/xantham in it). The recipe is modified as follows and makes a light, fluffy, delicately sweet cornbread in about 15 minutes.

GF Cornbread

Modified from a container of Kroger brand Yellow Corn Meal

Ingredients

  • 3/4 c Corn Meal
  • 3/4 c GF All-Purpose Flour (Bob's Red Mill)
  • 1/4 c GF Baking Mix (Bob's Red Mill)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 c sugar
  • 1 c milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 c vegetable oil
Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Grease a 9x9 square pan or similar pan of your choosing (round, square, what have you)
  3. Mix corn meal, flours, baking powder, and sugar.
  4. Mix milk, egg, and oil and add to dry ingredients.
  5. Mix well and pour into baking pan.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. I noticed that the top of the bread appeared dry the edges were golden brown.
I am serving this with a little butter and my home made chili. 

Great for a cold, rainy night like tonight!

  1. Jaimi-

    I found this buttermilk substitute online a while ago and I use it in pretty much everything that calls for buttermilk. You might want to try it out!

    Place a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar in a measuring cup. Add enough milk to make one cup of liquid. Let stand for 5 minutes. And you're done!
