Basic Cornbread

 Ingredients

3/4 cup cornmeal

1 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

Pinch of salt

2 tsp baking soda

1 cup milk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 large egg


Preparation

Mix the cornmeal and milk in a small bowl so the cornmeal can soak while preparing the rest of the ingredients. In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and the sugar. Mix the egg and oil together well and stir into the cornmeal. Add the cornmeal to the flour and stir to moisten. Don't overmix! Pour into prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes or until a inserted toothpick comes out clean. Bake only until golden brown.


Makes 1 loaf or 16 squares.
