Skillet Corn Bread

[Guhlia]

Okay, I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and tried it last night. It's REALLY good. It was originally posted by Kathy Teela and called Skillet Corn Bread. I added a few tablespoons of sugar to mine because we like sweet corn bread. It turned out far better than I could have hoped for and it only took a few minutes to make.

INGREDIENTS

* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (I used a white rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch mix plus 1 teaspoon xantham gum)

* 1/4 cup cornmeal

* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

* 1/4 teaspoon salt

* 1 egg

* 1/4 cup milk

* 4 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided

DIRECTIONS

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg, milk and 3 teaspoons oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Heat remaining oil in a heavy 8-in. skillet over low heat. Pour batter into the hot skillet; cover and cook for 4-5 minutes. Turn and cook 4 minutes longer or until golden brown.

did anyone's results fall apart into crumbs? what did I do wrong? not enough gum?

[Guhlia]

I would say not enough gum OR perhaps overcooking? Mine turned out moist and almost fluffy for cornbread. Very tasty. How much of which gum did you use?
