Is Jiffy brand cornbread mix gluten-free? ›

Jiffy mixes are not gluten free, and the main ingredient of their corn muffin mix is wheat flour. Bob's Red Mill apparently makes a gluten-free cornbread mix similar to Jiffy's, and I suspect others do. Jiffy's corn bread mix is not vegetarian, so I have not tried it.

While corn is gluten free, most cornbread recipes also include regular, all-purpose flour which makes them not gluten free. That said, my recipe swaps all-purpose flour with a measure-for-measure / 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. I promise that nobody will ever know the difference.

Cornmeal is also gluten-free. Cornmeal is a coarse flour made from maize, (i.e. corn). Just like cornflour, it's important to look for labeled gluten-free cornmeal whenever possible, as cross-contact can easily occur during manufacturing. Hominy is a product of corn and is gluten-free.

Adding an egg yolk to your cornbread will help hold its shape while you're cutting and serving it. You can add a yolk even if your recipe doesn't call for any eggs at all--just put it in with the other wet ingredients. Cut back on fat or grease by one third.

The black specks are simply naturally dark pieces of the pericarp (skin) of the corn, where the tip of the kernel attaches to the cob. The color of the specks will vary by crop and year.

Glutinous rice flour can be used as a replacement for cornflour in many recipes, and it's gluten-free - despite its name. This thickening agent is often used in Asian dishes, such as rice noodles and mochi, and has a neutral taste.

Grits are a naturally gluten-free food that can be safely eat on a gluten-free diet, as long as the brand of grits is made in a gluten-free facility. However, some grits are manufactured alongside other gluten grains, putting the product at risk of cross-contamination.

Is peanut butter gluten-free? ›

In its natural form, both peanuts and peanut butter are gluten-free. Many store-bought brands of peanut butter are also gluten-free, with gluten-containing peanut butter tending to be the exception rather than the rule.

Hushpuppies are not much of a stretch to turn into a gluten-free version. Hushpuppies are cornmeal based, not flour. This is why awesome treats like corn bread and corn muffins transition really well into gluten-free versions.

Set the batter aside for 10 to 15 minutes.

By letting the cornbread batter sit at room temperature before baking, the cornmeal has some extra time to absorb the flavor from the other ingredients, and the baking powder gets a head start.

One of the simplest ways is to bring in more flavor and depth is by adding ⅓ cup of sour cream to the batter, which makes the cornbread extra moist and a little tangy. Another tangy option: Add ⅔ cup of buttermilk, which also makes the cornbread super tender.

Some substitute an equal amount of butter for the oil. Another substitute is coconut milk and brown sugar for the milk and white sugar. For those who don't like their cornbread to be "crumbly," member Jeremy Joseph suggests adding one additional egg white and only two teaspoons of baking powder.

While corn is naturally gluten-free, most cornbread is NOT gluten-free. Most corn bread recipes use a combination of cornmeal and white flour. To make gluten-free cornbread, you must use gluten-free ingredients, such as gluten-free cornmeal and gluten-free measure-for-measure flour, as we do here.

Since the corn cakes use corn flour as a binder, they are gluten-free if you make sure the corn flour you are using is processed in a gluten-free facility.
