Gluten Free Blue Cornbread Recipes

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.

GLUTEN-FREE BLUE CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Start by heavily greasing either a 9x9x2 inch baking pan or a 9 inch round glass baking container. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In mixing bowl stir together everything, but the milk and eggs. Beat together the eggs and milk in a separate bowl. Add milk/eggs mixture to flour mixture or vice versa and stir until batter is smooth. The xanthan gum will make the batter gummy/rubbery the more you mix it past the point of being smooth.
• Pour in greased baking pan and bake in oven for 20-25 minutes until knife comes out clean. Check after 15 minutes to see if cornbread is becoming brown on top. Remove cornbread when lightly brown on top.
