Cornbread 2

Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow corn meal
• 1 cup flour
• 1 Tablespoons sugar
• 4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 teaspoon allspice
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
• 1/2 Tablespoon shortening or bacon or sausage drippings, approximately

Directions

Sift the dry ingredients together into a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, milk, and 1/4 cup shortening. Beat with a wooden spoon or spatula until smooth, about 1 minute.

Grease an 8- or 9-inch iron skillet (or a heavy 8-inch square baking pan) with the shortening or drippings and pour in the batter. Bake in a preheated 425° F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until light golden brown on top.

Bring the skillet to the table and cut into wedges to serve.
