HOW TO MAKE SELF-RISING CORNMEAL MIX
Make your own self-rising cornmeal mix is an easy way to substitute the ingredients below if you don’t have self-rising cornmeal on hand or cannot find it in your area. So many of you have told me you cannot find self-rising cornmeal mix where you live and a lot of recipes call for this ingredient. I can usually find it here at Kroger or Walmart but it may not be sold in some parts of the country. I have used this tip many times in a pinch and these are ingredients most people usually have in their pantry. We have hundreds of other food tips, how tos, make your own, DIY that may be helpful to you in your everyday life.

I’m gluten free, so I’m wondering if you’ve made this with AP gluten free flour or with almond flour in place of the AP flour?
I have never tried it, but it may work great!
Where are your recipes for your fried cornbread and cornbread muffins? I couldn’t find them but would love to make them!
Thanks!

I dont have baking powder will this still work?
No, I don’t think it will, without the baking powder, Jen.
I forgot that step by accident and it felt something was missing. Next day I remade it with the baking powder and the Hot water fried cornbread I made was perfect with the mix was perfect.
You TOTALLY saved the day! My local grocer didn’t have self-rising cornmeal, and I wouldn’t give up on my Grandma’s Southern Cornbread Dressing! Thank you! Thank you!
So glad I could help! Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you, here in San Francisco area I cannot find self-rising cornmeal anywhere
