| Mama Lynn's Cornbread (Gluten-Free)
American South
Gluten-Free Cornbread
|
|
|
|
| Adapted to be gluten-free, from a traditional American cornbread recipe from my grandmother, Elsie Lynn. A 10-inch, preheated cast iron skillet is the baking pan of choice for traditional cornbread, but almond flour browns quickly, so a pie pan may be more suitable. You can use buttermilk powder if you don't have actual buttermilk - add 4 tablespoons to the dry ingredients in step 2, then add 1 cup water with the egg in step 3. Yogurt or sour cream can replace the buttermilk in a pinch. You can also add 1 tablespoon white vinegar to a cup of milk to mimic buttermilk in cooking. |
