Southern Cornbread (The New Best Recipe, halved, modified)

Whisk together: 50g cornmeal
                           1 tsp sugar
                           1/4 tsp salt
                           1/2 tsp powder
                           1/8 tsp soda
                           10g buttermilk powder
                         
Stir to make a stiff mush: 40g boiling water
                                          25g cornmeal

Whisk into mush: 3/8c water
                              1 bantam egg (half a large egg)

Stir dry into wet. Bake at 450*F for 8-12 minutes.

This amount fit perfectly into the perch pan. It also released beautifully.

Cornbread (Whole Grain Baking, halved, modified)

Whisk together: 140g cornmeal
                           50g whole wheat pastry flour (we used Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free Flour blend
                           50g flour (again, the gluten-free blend)
                           1tsp powder
                           1/2 tsp soda
                           1/2 tsp salt
                           25g buttermilk powder

Whisk together: 1c water
                           40g honey
                           1 egg
                           4T butter, melted (I found the butter in the microwave after baking. Oops.)

Stir wet into dry, bake at 450*F 8-10 minutes (took 15).

The flour blend tasted quite beany before baking, but fine after. These filled both the perch and the stick pans to overflowing, with some left over. They released ok from the perch pan, but stuck like crazy to the stick pan.


Cranberry Rice Bread (Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book, modified)

Whisk together: 280g rice flour
                           90g potato flour
                           1 1/2 tsp powder
                           1/2 tsp soda
                           1/2 tsp salt

Stir into flours: 3/4c chopped dried cranberries (90g)
                          1/2c currants (70g)
                           2T candied orange peel


Beat together: 2T softened butter
                        60g honey

Stir into butter/honey: 1/2c orange juice
                                     2T lemon juice
                                     2 eggs, beaten

Stir wet into dry and bake in a 8x4 loaf pan about 45 min at 350*F.

First attempt was overbaked. Batter was a bit dry as well--maybe the dried cranberries?

Second attempt was same as above, except: 3/4c chopped fresh cranberries (much better!)
                                                                       30g currants
                                                                       25g golden raisin, chopped
                                                                       50g honey
An hour bake time in my brother's oven (I wonder if it's hotter than ours) was not enough, yet too much. Slightly underbaked, but overbrowned.
