Cornbread with rice flour

*

*


I just popped this recipe in the oven.

1-1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup corn meal
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 cup skim milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 egg whites or 1 egg, beaten

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease 8 or 9 inch square pan. Combine dry ingredients. Stir in milk, oil, and egg, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown and wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

I've forgotten to the xanthan gum a couple of times, it's more crumbly without but still good.

For the flour I use 1 cup goya rice flour and 1/4 cup corn starch if I want a coarser texture. If I want it fluffier, more like the corn muffin box mixes, I use 3/4 cup rice flour and 1/2 cup corn starch.


If I'm making it for a savory dish, like stuffing or with gravy, I use half as much sugar.

It seems to take a few minutes longer to bake when it's gluten free. I give it 25 minutes, then check to see if it's turning brown. My oven doesn't bake evenly, though, and that might be why it takes longer.

I usually add a handful or two of frozen corn to the mixture before baking. I've also added a couple of tablespoons of salsa.

This recipe is pretty goof proof. I make it a lot, and it always seems to come out great!

cup for cup a substitute for wheat flour!

a review from Rachel's Recipes:

"I used this flour mix in several of my recipes – for cornbread, waffles & pancakes, and Better Than Brownies. It performed beautifully in every test. Everyone praised the taste of all the recipes – no one noticed the results as anything different from my regular flours. It was incredibly handy to be able to simply measure out the flour total for all the recipes rather than measuring for the flour, then the starch(es), then the xanthan gum. Cutting out 2 steps from a recipe is great! Cutting those steps also makes cooking easier for my children, which is fabulous!

We give Domata Living Flour 4 spotlights out of five. I would love to see an option with a higher nutritional value – if it had that, I would happily give it 5 spotlights."


Ed, the man behind Domata Living Flour writes:

"In this world, many of our wounds, both physical and mental can show us our true inner strengths. I personally faced death twice before properly diagnosed with Celiac disease. During stabilization of my condition, God laid it on our hearts to produce an All Purpose Flour that was number one (1) delicious and easy to work with, and number two (2) affordable and easily attainable. Domata is God’s company; the opportunity to work for Him has been a fantastic blessing for all of us."

I called my local wegmans and whole foods, neither carry it.

a blog I've returned to many times has a very helpful top ten list of gluten free products.

Plus her own recipes like this one for a herbed foccocia bread that I plan on trying.
