Gf Cornbread - The Best!

My cornbread recipe's always been gluten-free. It's my friend's southern grandmother's recipe

I put a few tbsp. of oil in my small cast iron skillet and put it in the oven while it preheats up to 400º.

In a bowl, I mix:

1 cup corn meal

scant 1/4 cup sugar

1 tbsp. baking powder

1 cup milk

1 beaten egg

When the oven's heated, carefully take out the skillet and pour in the batter. Cook for 20 min. or until top is browned and pulling away from the sides a little. Leave it in the skillet for a few minutes so you're sure the middle's cooked. It's easy to remove and serve on a plate.

YUMMY!!!

Hi luvs2eat - Thank you for posting this recipe. I was panicked at the thought of not having cornbread dressing during the holidays and quickly found a gluten-free cornbread mix online but I didn't order it as I'm still waiting on more tests/results and I'm not on gluten-free diet yet. Have you ever tried the gluten-free cornbread mix and if so, was it any good? I don't really cook much but I do help with the dressing each year and we always use a mix - never made it from scratch. Your recipe seems pretty simple so I guess I could do it. One more question - does your recipe taste pretty similar to reg. cornbread?

Thanks!

Oh that's great! Guess I misunderstood when someone said I can't have regular cornbread - we get Aunt Jemima's buttermilk mix. I'll double check the ingredients on the bag. :)

Yae check, some conrbreads do have flour in them. In fact the is a recipe for "lite" corn bread that uses flour on the same bag. :)

I've never tried a mix as this is the recipe I've always used... way before going gluten-free. I think the mixes are lighter ... more cake-like. This is a denser cornbread. I swear it's baking it in the skillet that makes it so good!

Well I am working on a modification to make this work in my bread machine... I'll let you know :)

Everyone is talking about corn meal and I wonder if you are all referring to special gluten-free corn meal or something bought in the supermarket. I found some special gluten-free corn meal on line and bought several bags of it and a "not so cheap" price. Now I'm wondering if I could have just bought something out of the store.

Thanks. Sue

Corn is gluten-free. So as long as theres nothign added ot the Corn Meal it will be gluten-free also. Of course cross contimation is always an issue!

Thanks. I guess I did the right thing. My husband loves the cornbread I made last night so I'll stick with it. ;)

Your cornbread sounded so good (and easy) that I jotted down the recipe at work and made it last night for dinner! The hubby loved it too!!! :D

I doubled the recipe because I have a large skillet, and I had to use rice milk instead of regular milk (we don't keep regular milk in the house...I have a hard time digesting it). It sure was yummy...I've been craving bread! Thanks for the recipe. -Julie B)

I don't have a cast-iron skillet. Will any baking dish work?

:( There's a problem with this recipe!! There should also be a cup of gluten free flour or else the batter will be way too watery. If you don't believe me, look at the ingredients of traditional or other gluten-free cornbread recipes! Just trying to help you prevent a ruined effort! the author should revise or delete the recipe.

Most of the cornbread mixes (Jiffy, etc.) will have wheat flour so that might be why some people are thinking that cornbread is not allowed.

On a side note, can anyone explain why the "scant" modifier is used in recipes? It just looks strange to me to see a precise measure like "1/4 cup" and then have a word there that means "but not really, a little less".

I've used the Gluten Free Pantry brand of cornbread mix. Taste-wise it is good and it worked fine in dressing at Thanksgiving. It did have a finer texture than the cornbread I grew up with. We used to have leftover cornbread with milk and the gluten-free variety fell apart when I tried that. It had a texture in the milk like sand.

This is pretty much how I've always made cornbread though we don't usually put sugar in it. (I like it a little sweet but that's not the traditional southern way)

I was just wandering today if cornbread was an ok dish.

I say it's just not cornbread if you don't cook it in an iron skillet. If you want a crunchy bottom, heat your oil in the skillet in the oven while you prepare your mix.

For a sweet treat: hot slice of cornbread, little butter, and squirt some honey over it. Delish!!!

A few years ago I had used a receipe such as this one and the

problem I had was that the finished cornbread fell into

crumbles.......

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.
