Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously spray an 8-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, gluten-free flour, sugar, gluten-free baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the softened butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined. (1 minute)

05

Step

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly. (1 minute)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This should take approximately 22 minutes.

08

Step

Let the corn bread cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with buttermilk.
If you prefer a sweeter corn bread, increase the sugar to 1/2 cup.
To prevent the corn bread from drying out, store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
Serve warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of deliciousness.

    I love the tip about using a cast iron skillet. It gives the cornbread a wonderful crust.
