Gluten Free Cornbread Recipe

This is my first attempt at gluten free cornbread, and I thought it turned out pretty good.  I would like to experiment using other alternative flours, but almond flour was what I had on hand today, so I used that.  The texture was fine.  It didn't rise as high as my usual cornbread, but duh! it's gluten free!  LOL!

Gluten Free Cornbread   1 c yellow cornmeal 1/2 c almond flour 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 TB baking powder 1 egg 1 c. buttermilk 2-3 TB bacon drippings, melted

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In 8" cast iron skillet, melt bacon drippings and have pan really hot before you pour the batter in.

Mix together all ingredients into a smooth batter.  Pour into hot prepared pan or skillet.  Bake 20 minutes or until done in the center. 

Wow that is wonderful, thanks so much for the recipe I will definitely try it. I am still working on getting a good white bread for my DH to have for toast in the morning. I want to be able to do it in my bread machine....so I am still trying. Bob's Red Mill has some good mixes I am working on also. Thanks again, Marti

Somewhere among my recipes, I have one for almond cookies I got from my friend in Lubbock ... she makes a lot of gluten free stuff (she believes she is gluten intolerant). I made them once and they are very good. But they are very difficult ... I burnt the first pan because I put them in too long.

And actually, the woman in Lubbock never made these, her late husband did ... so I have a feeling Rita doesn't make them anymore ... Bruce was the cook (he died a couple of years ago).

Vicki I found this recipe for Hamburger buns...they usually have some good recipes on this web site.
