Equipment

  • Six 4-inch round cake pans (link below to the ones we use)

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 Cup salted butter melted
  • 2 ½ Cups buttermilk
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Cups cornmeal
  • 2 Cups gluten free flour blend with xanthan gum in it if it doesn't contain xanthan gum add 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • First, preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Place your six 4-inch cake pans on a cookie sheet and grease each pan with cooking spray or room temp butter, then set aside. Then, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, butter, and buttermilk until thicker and smooth. Add in the gluten free 1-1 flour, xanthan gum if your mix does not already contain it, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
  • Then spoon batter into each muffin tin evenly (they should be about 2/3-3/4 full). Bake for 20-30 minutes without opening the oven door until a skewer inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Let cool a few minutes before turning out. Best-served slightly warm, so pop them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds from room temp!
