Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten-free cornmeal
  • 1 cup gluten-free all purpose flour blend, with xantham gum, if your mix does not include xantham gum, add 1 tsp of xantham gum.
  • 1 TBS baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs at room temp
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or dairy-free milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar added, rested for 10 minutes)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square or round baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free cornmeal, gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, do not over mix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cornbread cool completely, then cut it into cubes. Toast the cubes in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until dried.

Notes

Tips for Stuffing:

  • The drier the cornbread cubes, the better they will absorb the flavors of your stuffing mix.
