Company Cornbread

I cannot tell you how OLD this recipe is... Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. Would imagine one will not find a better cornbread. Simple ingredients, quick result - recipe. I like to slice my cornbread in half and toast lightly.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 3/4 cup yellow or white cornmeal
• 3 tablespoons sugar (yes, real sugar)
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon butter (yes, real butter)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup canola oil 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400-degrees.

Add butter to a 8x8 pan and place in the preheated oven for about 3 minutes or until butter is melted. Remove from the oven and swirl to coat bottom and sides of the pan.

Stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt; set aside.

Beat the eggs and add the milk and oil.

Add the egg mixture all at onto the dry ingredients. Stir till just moistened.

Pour batter into the hot pan and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
