ingredients

1 cup flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup milk

directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put oil in the bottom of a 10 1/2 inch cast iron skillet and preheat it while you mix the ingredients.

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.

Mix the liquids in a separate bowl the add to the dry ingredients.

Remove the cast iron skillet from the oven and pour in the mixture. (Contents of mixture will look similar to a pancake batter). Some oil in bottom of the skillet will come over the sides of the mixture and this will give a little crunch to the corn bread.

Bake in a 400 degrees F oven for about 25 minutes or until golden.

Neckbones/Potatoes and Cornbread today 08/17, cornbread was excellent, even got praises from my mom whom only prepares southern cornbread with buttermilk and not as sweet. I put this recipe in my keep file.

I have made this cornbread for over 50 years and we LOVE it! The only thing I do different is I add 2 eggs. BTW I am from the south (born and raised) and have gotten into many arguments because I make my cornbread with sugar. I cannot stand "sour" cornbread. This cornbread is good!

This is the first cornbread I've tried that I actually enjoy. Usually I just sort of tolerate cornbread, but this one won me over.
