Mama'S Cornbread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. yellow cornmeal
1 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
salt to taste (1 tsp.)
1/4 c. sugar (optional)
2 eggs
1 c. milk (whole or butter)
1/4 c. vegetable oil

Preparation

Mix dry ingredients.
If you like sweet cornbread, include the sugar (I omit this).
Add the eggs, milk and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients.
Use a seasoned black iron skillet for best results.
Add 2 to 3 tablespoons oil or bacon drippings to pan and place in oven to heat.
When a drop of water sizzles (pan shouldn't be smoking), remove from oven and add batter.
Batter should sizzle some as you add it.
Bake for approximately 25 minutes.
Remove from oven; turn out onto plate.
Enjoy!
