Mamma's Cornbread

From Mamma's notebook.





List of Ingredients



• 2 cups water-ground cornmeal
  
• 1 cup plain flour (or self-rising with baking powder reduced to 2 teaspoons)
  
• 1/4 cup shortening (Crisco or vegetable oil)
  
• 1 cup milk or enough to make a soft dough that will pour
  
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 2 teaspoons sugar
  






Instructions



1. Measure dry ingredients. Beat egg and milk together. Blend with flour.
   
2. In a heavy pan, melt the shortening or heat the oil. Swish in pan so it is well-greased, then add to rest of the mixture. Pour into pan.
   
3. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
   






Final Comments


Mamma added a note: "May need to bake at 400 degrees. Watch to see if browned well."

I imagine that the 400 degree oven is better than 350.
