Steps
- 1Confirm every packaged ingredient is labeled gluten-free before cooking for someone with a medical need.
- 2Heat a cast iron skillet in the oven so the edge can crisp.
- 3Whisk dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another.
- 4Combine just until the batter comes together.
- 5Add fat to the hot skillet, then pour in the batter.
- 6Bake until the center is set and the edge is browned.
Grit & Soul tip
Gluten-free baking is not the place to guess. Use a proven flour blend and verify labels before serving.

The memory belongs below the recipe.
This keeps the table open without pretending diet labels are decoration. Good cornbread should still have a crisp edge and tender middle.
Grit & Soul keeps the cooking directions easy to reach first. The story still matters, but it should never make someone scroll forever before they can cook.

Make it yours
Add one small personal mark: orange zest, cracked pepper, a honey finish, or a different pan.
