The Story Behind It

We always ate cornbread with milk and sugar. It made a good meal when we didn’t have anything else.

Ingredients

1½ cups cornmeal
½ cup flour
¼ cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup shortening

Directions

Mix milk, beaten egg and shortening together.
Add the dry ingredients and stir only until combined.
Pour into a greased 8-inch square pan.
Bake at 425°F for about 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
