Gluten-Free Cornbread image

This is fluffy cornbread, full of corn taste with a tiny bite because of the cornmeal. And gluten-free? With these flours, it's indistinguishable from a gluten-based cornbread. It's just good.

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup shortening (use a non-hydrogenated shortening), plus more for greasing the pan
140 grams All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Mix, recipe follows
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon psyllium husk
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk (you can use non-dairy milk, if you want)
1 cup yellow cornmeal
400 grams millet flour
300 grams sweet rice flour
300 grams potato starch

Steps:

  • Prepare to cook. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-9-by-2-inch pan.
  • Mix the dry ingredients. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the sugar, baking powder, psyllium husk and salt and stir.
  • Cut in the shortening. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture the way you would when making pie dough. You should end up with walnut-size pieces in a sandy flour.
  • Add the wet ingredients. Combine the eggs and milk in a small bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the liquid. Stir with a rubber spatula until everything is combined.
  • Finish the batter. Stir in the cornmeal, whisking fast, until it is just combined. Do not overstir.
  • Bake the cornbread. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the sides of the cornbread are slightly shrinking from the pan and a toothpick comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Pour all the flours into a large container. (Restaurant supply stores sell large plastic containers that fit this purpose well. You could also use a large glass jar.) Shake and shake and shake harder until all the flours have become one color.
