Cornbread

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

Combine cornmeal and milk in a bowl and leave standing for 5 minutes. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix in the cornmeal  mixture, eggs and oil until smooth.

Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan and pour in mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 400F.

Spicy variation: roast some chile peppers (jalapeno, fresno, hatch etc.) until soft and a little blackened. Remove skin and dice chile flesh. Add to cornmeal batter before pouring into baking pan.
