Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free cornmeal
- 0.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Buttermilk
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar (if using), baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs until fully combined.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then stir it into the buttermilk and egg mixture.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Carefully remove the hot cast-iron skillet from the oven and grease it with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet. The batter will sizzle and start to form a crust immediately.
Bake the cornbread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
