With a golden color and tender crumb, this gluten-free cornbread has big corn flavor and can be enjoyed by anyone following a gluten-free diet. Its nice with a bowl of soup or a cup of tea for a snack. It’s also wonderful in cornbread dressing for Thanksgiving and Christmas turkeys or with roast chicken during the year.

Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients
Gather up your ingredients and pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, add the cornmeal, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to incorporate.
Mix Wet Ingredients
Whisk in the buttermilk (or dairy-free substitution) until smooth, then add the eggs, melted butter and honey. Whisk until the batter is well mixed.
Pout Batter, Bake and Cool
Cut a square of parchment to fit into the bottom of an 8″x8″ square light colored baking pan. Spray with nonstick spray. Pour batter into the pan. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes (I have a convection oven) on the center rack, or until the cornbread is golden and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. The cornbread will be pulling away from the sides of the pan slightly. Use your nose. When the cornbread is done you’ll really smell it. Remove from the oven and turn out onto a cooling rack.
To serve, cut into squares or to make the cornbread dressing, see the post for cornbread stuffing on how to cut and dry the cornbread.
