Ingredients
  

OR

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal certified gluten-free (like Arrowhead Mills GF Organic Yellow Corn Meal®)
  • 1 cup gfJules™ All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2-4 Tablespoons granulated cane sugar to taste

PLUS

  • 3 Tbs. butter or vegan butter e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks -- **for the pan**
  • 1 cup sour cream dairy or soy – like Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream® or Vegan Gourmet® OR plain yogurt, dairy or non-dairy (like So Delicious® Coconut Yogurt)
  • 3/4 cup milk dairy or non-dairy alternative
  • 1 large egg or egg replacer equivalent like flax seed meal + water or aquafaba

Optional Mix-ins

  • 3-4 chipotle peppers chopped – optional (gluten-free brand like Goya® or La Costeña®)
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup corn kernels – optional drained, if using canned

Instructions

  • Build fire and stoke coals until hot. Arrange grate above flames. See photos, above recipe card.
  • Place the 3 Tbs. butter in a heavy 10-inch skillet; place on the grate to melt and warm the pan.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk and egg. If baking from scratch, in a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, gfJules Flour™, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar (if using).
  • Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients or gfJules Gluten Free Cornbread Mix using a fork or whisk. Fold in the chopped peppers and corn kernels, if using. Spread into the hot greased skillet -- use pot holders!
  • Cover with aluminum foil, crimping the edges to seal and poke several small holes in the top to vent steam. Place on the grate above the fire, but not directly on top of flames, if possible. Cook for 20 minutes, turning the pan a few times, and checking to ensure that the bottom is not burning. Bake until set and crispy brown around the edges. If you have a toothpick handy, use that to be sure the middle is done. Remove to cool in the pan; cut into wedges to serve.
