Preheat oven to 350˚F/180˚C. Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish. In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon of flax meal with 2 ½ tablespoons of water. Let sit for 10 minutes, until the flax absorbs the water.
1a
In a large mixing bowl, stir together cornmeal, gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and remaining 1 tablespoon of flax meal.
1b
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, maple syrup, flax "egg" (flax + water), lemon juice and melted butter.
2
Using a spatula, stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined. Don't overmix the batter – just whisk until there are no big lumps of flour. The less mixing, the fluffier your cornbread will be!
3
Let the batter sit for 15 minutes, then pour into prepared baking dish.
4
Bake for 33-36 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing. If you slice it too soon, it will be pretty crumbly.
