Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or baking dish with butter or oil.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the buttermilk and vegetable oil until smooth.
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; do not overmix, as this can make the cornbread tough.
Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared skillet or baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve Warm: Let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm with butter or honey.
