Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt, opt.
  • 2-3 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup dry milk powder, opt.

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls, then combine. (OR mix dry ingredients; then add wet ingredients and combine.)
  • Pour into greased 9 X 9 pan and bake 25 minutes.
  • Serve hot with meal; or with butter, honey, milk, syrup, jam or jelly.

Variations:

  • To use sour milk (buttermilk, yogurt, etc.) in place of milk, reduce baking powder to 2 tsp. and add 1 tsp baking soda.
  • For all the liquid ingredients, substitute 1 egg, 3/4 cup of milk, and 1 cup of cream style corn. This makes a more corny cornbread.
