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. :)

for the egg to make it Egg free, and it seems to have worked well!

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 Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
