"A MANDATORY southern cookout side. Light and fluffy, moist and buttery... perfect to slather with jam, or to sandwich the grilled chicken that fell off the bone.."

ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal (self rising is great!)
- 1 cup gluten free baking flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 cup plus two tablespoons buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons sliced butter for topping
- A pinch of sugar for topping
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
Step 2
In a second bowl, melt butter, add buttermilk. Whisk in eggs.
Step 3
Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined .(overmixing will lead to dense bread!)
Step 4
Transfer mixture to a greased baking dish. (I used a round cake pan, but anything deep, about 8x8 is fine for this recipe!)
Step 5
Top with slices of butter, and a sprinkle of sugar (optional, but delicious!)
Step 6
Bake for 25 minutes, and allow to cool slightly before slicing.
Step 7
This recipe is perfect for setting on the dinner table... but if you're having the whole family for a cookout.. double up :)
