Fabulous, Melt in Your Mouth, Gluten Free Cornbread

image.png
Thanks to gluten free flour mixes like Pamela's Gluten Free Artisan Flour Blend, the guess work is removed as to what flours to use, how much xyanthan gum, starch...you're ready to go to make delicious baked goods. I found that my Corn bread recipe tasted better made with this flour blend than unbleached wheat flour. The Cornbread can be made either way, using Pamela's GF, or regular flour, the choice is yours. What ever you choose, the result is a tender, moist, irresistible Cornbread that you will want to serve with all your soups and stews!

Remove skillet or baking pan from oven. REDUCE OVEN TEMPERATURE TO 350*.
Spread melted butter around skillet/pan drain excess butter into cup.

Pour batter into skillet/pan. Spread it evenly. Drizzle leftover butter on top of batter.

Bake in oven on middle rack for 25 - 30 minutes. Top of Cornbread will be cracked, pulled away from the sides of pan and surface should have golden brown highlights. Do not over bake!

Let Cornbread cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with butter with savory stews and soups. Delicious with cinnamon and sugar for breakfast the next day...that is if there is any left over!!
