GF Cornbread

My favorite GF bread to make the bread is very dense and moist. It is super simple, using only brown rice flour and corn meal, anyone can make it. The Xanthan gum is important but the bread will work without it, it will be rather crumbly though. Xanthan gum is worth the $, the $10 bag I bought last year is still going strong. Even if I were a more zealous baker it would still last for several months...break down and buy it!

GF Cornbread

DRY INGREDIENTS:
1 cup brown rice flour (or your favorite flour blend)
3/4 cup corn meal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 scant teaspoon xanthan gum

WET INGREDIENTS:
1 cup milk (rice, soy or cow) plus 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons melted margarine, butter or canola oil
2 eggs beaten

Preheat oven to 425 degrees, grease an 8X8 baking pan. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together. Combine wet ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together. Add the wet mix to the dry, stir to combine well. Let sit for a minute. Pour in to a prepared baking pan and place in preheated oven, bake for 30 minutes. Let cool to warm and serve.
