Put into 1½ quart casserole. Stir flour, cornmeal, sweetener, baking powder, remaining salt (ugh) and thyme together in a bowl; then add egg milk, and rest of oil. Stir until smooth. Top the first mixture with second and bake, uncovered, or until the cornmeal is sightly brown and firm to touch (about 1 hour).
