I believe this is the recipe on the box of the cornmeal I buy: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup yellow or blue cornmeal (blue is a bit sweeter) 1/4 cup white sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup melted butter or 1/4 cup oil 1 egg 1 cup milk
Blend the dry ingredients. Mix in melted butter or oil until mixture is crumbly. Add egg and milk and blend well. There may be a few small lumps. Pour into an 8-inch square pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not overbake, or it will be too dry. When toothpick inserted comes out clean, it's done. Or, if you don't have a toothpick, press on the top of the cornbread; if it springs back without leaving a dent, and if the bread pulls awy from the sides of the pan, it's done. Let it stand for ten or fifteen minutes before cutting. When you put a slice on your plate, split it open and spread butter on it, or butter and cinnamon apple jelly, or butter and maple syrup. Some people like butter and honey. Refrigerate or freeze leftover cornbread. To reheat, wrap a slice in foil and heat it at 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Butter while hot so the butter melts into it. Heaven!
