Tips for making gluten-free cornbread:
- You can use a 9 in (23 cm) baking dish, an 8 in x 8 in (20cm x 20cm) square baking dish, or a cast-iron skillet.
- Corn Flour: Use yellow cornmeal in this recipe. Don’t try to use the cornmeal that is used to make tamales – this flour has a different texture and the result will not be the same. Here you will find the flour I use for this recipe.
Gluten-free cornbread ingredients:
Gluten-free all-purpose flour: All-purpose flour will allow the bread to be increased and give it fluffy and pasty consistency.
Yellow cornmeal: necessary for cornbread! It gives the bread a golden brown color and a grainy and delicious consistency.
Brown sugar:Gives the bread that delicate touch of sweetness.
Salt: just a pinch to highlight the complexity of the flavors.
Sodium Bicarbonate:helps the dough rise and expand at the time of baking.
Butter: It gives the bread a moist flavor.
Buttermilk: It helps to retain the moisture of the bread and gives it a nice flavor.
Eggs: To bind all ingredients together.
Instructions:
In a bowl combine the cornmeal with the buttermilk, let it rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, turn on the oven at a temperature of 375F (190C).
Grease a baking dish with butter.
In a separate bowl, mix all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir until these ingredients are well mixed and add the mixture that we allow to rest previously.
Add the eggs and melted butter and mix all the ingredients until you get a smooth mixture, (don’t overmix or you will have a hard, dry bread).
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the knife comes out clean when inserted into the center of the bread.
