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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar (if using), baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs until fully combined.
Step 4
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then stir it into the buttermilk and egg mixture.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Carefully remove the hot cast-iron skillet from the oven and grease it with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the hot skillet. The batter will sizzle and start to form a crust immediately.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
