Notes
For best results, use fine cornmeal instead of coarse cornmeal. // I used cane sugar in this recipe, but you can use brown sugar if you like. // If you want to use a dairy free milk instead of water, use coconut or oat milk. Keep in mind they may alter the taste a bit. // If you can’t get the GF baking flour, you can use GF all-purpose flour. Just be sure to add 1/4 tsp xanthan gum to help stabilize the dough. // If you added too much liquid to the dough and it’s become sticky, add in an extra TBSP of both flour and cornmeal and mix. // To make it grain free, use almond meal or flax meal instead of cornmeal and substitute all-purpose flour for a blend that’s grain free or use cassava flour. It will need less water to form the dough.
