Best 4 Gluten Free Southern Cornbread Recipes

CRISPY SOUTHERN CORNBREAD RECIPE (5TH GENERATION RECIPE & GLUTEN FREE!)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F. Heat a skillet on medium high heat until hot. Add oil to a cast iron skillet and allow to heat. Keep an eye on the skillet to make sure the oil doesn't start to smoke.
• While the pan/oil is heating, mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a large mug or small bowl, whisk egg and buttermilk together. If batter appears too thick, add a little more buttermilk.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
• When the oil starts to dance (appears to be moving in the pan), pour batter into the hot skillet and transfer to the oven. You want a super hot skillet with plenty of oil to achieve the best crispy crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

• 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 STYLE CORNBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or bacon grease to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Place the skillet in the oven for five to seven minutes to heat up.
• While the skillet is heating up, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Add the eggs, buttermilk, and two tablespoons of vegetable oil or melted bacon grease to a smaller bowl and whisk until well combined.
• Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
• Using a heavy-duty oven mitt or potholder, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Tilt the skillet to make sure the bottom and sides are covered with oil. Immediately pour the batter into the skillet. You should hear a nice sizzle, and you will see the batter already start to rise.
• Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread is a deep golden brown and has pulled away from the sides a little. To ensure it is done, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean. Serve immediately.
