Self-Rising Cormeal
Make your own self-rising cornmeal and eliminate the aluminum found in most mixes! Use this recipe for every one cup of self-rising cornmeal you need.
Equipment
- Bowl
- Whisk or fork
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup cornmeal plus
- 3 Tbsp cornmeal
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix together well.
- Then make cornbread as desired.
Notes
This recipe makes plain cornmeal, which is neither savory nor sweet, so it should work well with any cornbread recipe.
I suggest using a fine ground cornmeal. Pay attention to your cornbread recipe, though, to determine if you should use white or yellow cornmeal.
I used Alabama King cornmeal because that’s what we found in the store. However, there are many varieties out there, both brand-name and non-brand. Just make sure the ingredients consist of cornmeal and no leavening agents (or aluminum!).
