Gfcf Southern Style Cornbread Food

SOUTHERN CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda together in a large bowl and set aside. Whisk the buttermilk and eggs together in a medium bowl, then fold it into the cornmeal mixture and set aside.
• Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. Once smoking-hot, turn off the heat, add the butter and swirl it around to coat the pan as it melts. Pour the melted butter into the cornmeal mixture and stir to combine. Pour the cornmeal mixture into the hot skillet (you will hear a sizzling sound when pouring it into the pan) and bake until the edge is golden brown and the center bounces back when pressed with a finger, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SOUTHERN CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Make the batter: Whisk together all the dry ingredients (cornmeal, baking soda, salt, sugar if using) in a large bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg (if using) and buttermilk until combined, then mix that into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir in the melted butter.
• Rest bread in skillet, then serve: Let the bread rest for 10 to 30 minutes in the skillet before cutting it into wedges and serving. To store, let the cornbread cool, then remove from pan and wrap in plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Store at room temp for 2 to 3 days To avoid burning your hand because you've forgotten the pan is hot, I recommend placing a pot holder on the pan's handle while the cornbread is resting, or cooling the handle down a bit with an ice cube.

REAL SOUTHERN CORNBREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix together the corn meal, flour, salt, and baking powder.
• In a separate bowl mix together the eggs, butter, and buttermilk. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until well blended.
• Heat a dry 12 inch cast iron skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Add corn oil to skillet, swirl oil around to coat bottom and sides. Leave remaining oil in pan. Return to high heat for 1 minute.
• Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet and cook on high heat until bubbles start to form in the center. Remove from stove.
• Bake in a preheated 400 degree F (200 degree C) oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

BEST GLUTEN FREE CORNBREAD - GFCF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Combine the flours by sifting them into a large bowl. Add the remaining dry ingredients and stir.
• Cut the shortening (such as Earth Balance to make it casein free) into the flours, the way you would when making a pie dough. You should end up with walnut-size pieces in a sandy flour.
• Combine the eggs and milk in a small bowl. You can use cow's milk just fine if it's not a problem for your family. I usually use original rice milk.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid. Stir with a rubber spatula until everything is combined.
• Stir in the cornmeal, whisking fast, until it is just combined. Do not overstir.
• Pour into a greased 9 by 9 by 2-inch pan or a preheated greased cast iron skillet. Slide it into the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sides of the cornbread are slightly shrinking from the pan and a toothpick comes out clean.

GFCF SOUTHERN STYLE CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 F. Heat coconut oil in a cast iron skillet if using, or just melt it in your baking pan while the oven preheats.
• Add 1 tbsp vinegar to 1 cup casein free milk or water and set aside
• Mix together dry ingredients with a whisk.
• Make a well in your dry mixture and add remaining ingredients. Mix well.
• Pour batter into hot greased skillet, or baking pan. Bake until the sides pull away from the pan a bit and the top will usually crack a bit.
• A Note about Gluten and Casein Free Ingredients: Since my family began this diet, we have discovered that you always have to read the labels on the foods you buy. This week when shopping I may buy something that is clearly gfcf and next week when I look for the same item I will notice they have changed the ingredient list adding dry milk, or maltodextrin, or some other questionable ingredient. I find that it's best to stick to unprocessed foods whenever possible- make it from scratch. My son is on the autism spectrum, its not the end of the world if he gets a little gluten or casein, while it may ruin his day, it isn't life threatening. I always watch him for symptoms and note the offending food. Please keep this in mind while selecting your ingredients for my GFCF recipes. Happy Careful Shopping! :)

SOUTHERN STYLE GLUTEN FREE CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Put oil in a cast iron skillet, just enough to spread around the bottom and sides of skillet. I use a brush to do this. Preheat the oven to 350, immediately place the cast iron skillet in the oven, so the pan preheats as the oven does.
• Mix together all ingredients in a large bowl, being sure to add the baking powder last and get all the lumps out.
• Once the oven and skillet are preheated, pour in the batter, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Top of the cornbread should be golden brown. Let cool just a few minutes before slicing.

GFCF EASY CORNBREAD AND CHILI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 and pour chili into bottom of a 9x5 baking dish and spread it around.
• Prepare cornbread according to package directions.
• Do your best to spread the cornbread evenly on top of the chili (I know it's thick, but do your best!).
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cornbread is golden brown on top.
