Cornbread

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups cornmeal
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400F.

In a small bowl combine cornmeal and milk; allow to stand for 5 minutes. While waiting butter a 9" x 13" baking pan.

In a large bowl mix together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Then mix in the cornmeal mixture, eggs and oil until smooth.

Pour into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven 30-40 minutes. When fully baked a cocktail stick/toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean

Spicy variation: roast 3 - 5 red/green chiles (jalapenos are good for this) at 350F for ~30 minutes. Deseed and chop finely; add to batter before pouring into baking pan.
