Cornbread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal (stone ground if you can find it, regular old Quaker if you can't)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 cup rendered bacon fat
1/2 cup grated monterey jack cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Combine all dry ingredients except the cheese, and whisk until blended.
Add the wet ingredients in this order: eggs, milk, bacon fat.
Whisk or stir until well mixed, but not completely smooth, just like a pancake batter.
Add the cheese and stir to blend.
Pour the batter into a lightly greased round cake pan (for pie-like slices) or into a 9\" square pan.
Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
