WHAT IS GLUTEN?
Gluten is a group of proteins found in certain grains. It helps food maintain its shape by providing elasticity and moisture. However, many individuals must avoid it for medical reasons.
Always read the product’s label to make sure Gluten Free is written on it. The label confirms the product was tested and confirmed Gluten Free in a quality control laboratory. Read more here.

Although baking powder is naturally gluten free, most brands do not have it printed on the label. It may be processed in a facility that processes food with gluten. Read the label before purchasing.
I purchased the pictured brand with GLUTEN FREE printed in red, bold letters above the ingredients in red letters.
HELPFUL TIP: Test baking powder and/or baking soda before using if both have been in your pantry for a long time. Get my details by clicking on THE LEAVEN TEST.
WET INGREDIENTS
Additional ingredients include buttermilk, two eggs, unsalted butter, and vegetable oil to grease an 8″ skillet (or other baking dish).
Both eggs and butter are naturally gluten free. However, to make sure you’re getting an FDA certified Gluten Free product, carefully read the labels before purchasing.
IS BUTTERMILK AND VEGETABLE OIL GLUTEN FREE?
Buttermilk is naturally gluten free. However, only a few brands print Gluten Free on the label.
Vegetable oil made from soybean or canola oil is naturally gluten free. Always read the label before purchasing.
Crisco Pure Vegetable Oil and the Original No Stick Spray are both Gluten Free according to Crisco’s website.
PREHEAT OIL IN SKILLET
The secret to a thoroughly baked crust is to preheat oil in an 8″ skillet until sizzling hot (not smoking).
Never pour batter into a cold skillet. Results will be mushy, oily bottom and side crusts.
After removing cornbread from oven, allow to cool 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
