Corn Bread
Because it's so quick to make, you'll find it easy to serve hot homemade corn bread often.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow, white or blue cornmeal
2 to 4 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 beaten eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup cooking oil or shortening, melted

Mixing Instructions:

Grease a 9x9x2-inch baking pan; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center. In a medium mixing bowl combine eggs, milk, and oil. Add to flour mixture all at once. Stir just till moistened (batter should be lumpy).

Baking Instructions:

Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in a 425° oven for 20 to 25 minutes or till golden brown. Cut into squares. Serve warm. Makes 9 servings.

Corn Sticks or Corn Muffins: Prepare as directed above, except spoon batter into greased corn stick pans or 2 1/2-inch muffin cups, filling each pan or muffin cup 2/3 full. Bake in a 425° oven for 12 to 15 minutes or till golden brown. Makes 24 to 26 sticks or 12 muffins.
