Gluten-Free Skillet Cornbread
Servings: 1 10" Skillet
Calories: 1981kcal
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 75 grams light brown sugar
- 45 grams honey
- 1 large egg , room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk , room temperature
- 250 grams buttermilk , at room temperature
- 160 grams gluten-free flour blend (containing xanthan gum)
- 160 grams fine ground yellow cornmeal
- 6 grams baking powder
- 6 grams baking soda
- 3 grams kosher salt
- 15 grams of oil for the cast iron skillet
Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 400F and the 10" cast iron skillet. A preheated skillet helps create a crisp, golden-brown crust on the cornbread.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan over low heat. Let it cool slightly, then transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the brown sugar and honey, then whisk in the egg, egg yolk, and buttermilk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined; the batter will be thick.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven, add a bit of oil, and swirl to coat the surface. Pour in the cornbread batter and spread it evenly with a small offset knife or the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top and edges, firm to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The internal temperature should be 195-200°F.
- Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and place it on a heatproof surface, like a cooling rack.
- Optional: Brush or drizzle some melted butter over the still-hot cornbread for extra flavor. This will enhance the flavor and keep the top moist and delicious. For a touch of richness, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before the butter sets.
- Allow the gluten free skillet cornbread to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Pro Tip: Feel free to customize the skillet cornbread by adding some fresh corn, crumbled-up bacon, or shredded cheese to the batter before baking.
