2 cup cornmeal and/or corn flour
1 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 T. Baking powder
2 tsp. salt
2 1/4 cups milk
2 eggs
approx. 4 tablespoons melted fat or oil for skillet
1-2 cans sweet corn, drained (optional)
cast iron skillet
Basic corn bread from Fanny Farmer, slightly modified.
Preheat oven to 400 with your cast iron skillet inside.
Mix dry ingredients, then add in wet. Mix thoroughly.
Pull your pan out and add the fat or oil. Let it spread all over the bottom and use a brush to pull it up onto the sides as well.
Spoon batter into the hot, coated skillet and bake about 20-30 minutes.
*Corn flour makes softer, less coarse corn bread.
