Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole grain cornmeal
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup rice flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup rice milk
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  1. Mix the cornmeal with rice milk and let it stand for 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in the egg, rice flour, salt, oil, sugar, and baking powder until well combined.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch pan.
  4. Bake at 425°F for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Cut into wedges and serve.

Tips & Substitutions

For a more savory cornbread, consider adding a pinch of cayenne or some shredded cheese to the batter. You can substitute regular milk for rice milk if you prefer, but keep in mind that this will alter the flavor slightly. Using a cast-iron skillet instead of a pan can give your cornbread a beautiful crust. This recipe is perfect for a side dish with Fritos Bandito Chili.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the cornbread warm, cut into wedges, alongside chili or stews for a comforting meal. You can also spread a little butter or honey on top for added sweetness. It pairs beautifully with Dean'S Pralines for a delightful dessert afterward. Consider serving it with a fresh salad for a well-rounded meal.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week or freeze it for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop it in a toaster oven or microwave until warmed through, ensuring it stays moist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add ingredients like corn kernels or jalapeños?

Absolutely! Adding corn kernels or jalapeños can enhance the flavor and texture of your cornbread. Just make sure to drain any canned corn to avoid excess moisture, and adjust the quantity according to your taste preference. This adds a nice twist to the classic recipe.
