Ingredients:

Serving

a 10 cast-iron skillet
1 tsp to 1 tsp cooking oil ( do not add to the below ingredients; it's for the skillet)
1 1/2 cup. corn meal
1/2 cup. brown rice flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
2 eggs
1/2 can (3/4 cup.) full-fat evaporated canned milk
1 1/4 cup. plain yoghurt or buttermilk or sour cream
2 tsp. cooking oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450; set rack to middle.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
The oven should be hot now; put skillet into the oven.
In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
Skillet should be hot now; remove; add 1 t to 1 T oil, then put back into oven.
Pour wet into dry; stir only long enough to combine.
Remove skillet and immediately pour the batter into the hot oil. This will create a browned crust around the edges.
Put skillet back into oven and turn oven temp down to 350; cook for about 25 min., or until top is golden-browned.
What makes it Southern ? I took this from a very lively, opinionated Southern cook's website:
1) NO SUGAR, please - I'm Southern. If you're not and want to add it, go ahead, but to us, that's a sacrilege. Adding sugar makes it cornCAKE, and it also makes it Northern :)
2) It must be a cast iron skillet, in order to get it crispy on the outside and moist and tender inside. And don't use the silicone stuff for this - ouch!
3) Very little flour, and the most traditional recipes use no flour. [The gluten-free flour in this recipe maintains the traditional graininess while giving a slightly finer crumb.]
