IMO there is a difference between production code and whiteboard code. Nobody expects candidates to come up with ready-to-ship production code in 10 minutes. I don't care much for arguments about which interviewing style is better. If you find success using your method, I'm happy for you, and I only care about results. Asking someone to write code has never let me down. It has exposed a lot of charlatans who puff up their resume taking credit for their teams work, but when you ask them detailed questions they can't back-up their claimed technical prowess.
