Corn bread/corn muffins - gluten free

This is really easy to mix together and tastes surprisingly good.

Preheat oven 350 degrees.

Mix in large bowl:
1 cup yellow corn meal (or corn flour)*
1 ¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup white rice flour (brown rice flour works, too)**
1/3 cup [corn] oil
¼ - ½ cup sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons xanthan gum***
1 cup milk or water (I used water; came out well)
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 more cup water


Stir by hand until blended. Grease pans. Bake bread for 40 minutes, and muffins for 35 minutes. Makes one 8” x 8” baking pan; 6 large or 12 medium muffins.


*Should be able to find at any health food store.
**Also, can be found at any health food store.
***This is a thickening agent used in gluten free baking - it's expensive but worth it and can be found at Whole Foods and other health food stores.

Special flours can also be bought at glutenfreemall.com
