Ingredients
- 3/4 cup 105g gluten-free flour (note 1)
- 1 teaspoon 4g xanthan gum
- 3/4 cup 125g cornmeal (note 2)
- 1/4 cup 50g granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons 10g aluminum-free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon 3g fine sea salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk room temperature (note 3)
- 1/4 cup avocado oil or neutral oil of choice
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 cup 265g sourdough discard (note 4)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray an 8x8 square baking pan with non-stick spray or grease with butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, xanthan gum, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, and egg then whisk in the sourdough discard.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until completely incorporated.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and gently smooth out the top and make sure the batter is evenly distributed in the pan.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 20-24 minutes or until done.
- Serve warm or room temperature with honey butter or spread with grass-fed butter and a drizzle of honey.
Notes
- I use my Nightshade-Free Gluten Free Flour Blend in this recipe. If your flour blend contains xanthan gum, omit what's called for in the recipe.
- Use gluten free cornmeal. For best results, use a finely ground cornmeal. If yours is coarse, run it through a food processor to make it a bit finer.
- For dairy free, use Silk Heavy Whipping Cream Alternative for the best whole milk sub. You can also use unsweetened coconut milk beverage.
- I used the discard from my starter made with Nightshade Free Flour Blend. Brown rice flour or sorghum starters would also work well in this recipe.
- Store leftovers at room temperature in an air-tight container up to 2 days. Leftovers can also be frozen for up to a month in a freezer-safe bag.
