Ener-G Recipes

Preheat oven to 415 degrees F. In a 10 inch iron skillet or similar pan over low heat, melt enough shortening to cover entire pan, sides included. If using a non-stick 10 inch pan, a light spray of gluten-free oil should be applied. In a small bowl, mix together the flax meal and hot water. Stir well and allow to set. In a separate bowl, mash the cracklings into small pieces, set aside. In a mixing bowl, blend together cornmeal Ener-G Egg Replacer, baking soda, sugar, salt, and baking powder until well blended. Add the cracklings and mix well. Pour in the applesauce, flax mixture, oil and buttermilk. Blend for 5-6 seconds on low speed, then increase to medium-high and mix for 12-14 seconds. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and place into oven. Turn oven temperature down to 400 degrees F and bake for 32 minutes. Allow bread to set 1 minute after removing it from oven. Then turn the bread onto a plate or cooling rack.
