Sweet Vegan Cornbread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons golden flax meal (ground up flax seeds)
6 tablespoons warm water
1 cup vegan milk, such as almond milk or soy milk
1/3 cup margarine, vegetable shortening, or vegetable oil

Preparation

Combine the dry ingredients (flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking powder) in a bowl and set aside.
Fully combine the sugar and the margarine (or shortening or oil) in another bowl.
Add the milk to the wet ingredients (the sugar and margarine).
Put the flax meal into a cup or small bowl, and slowly add the water while stirring vigorously with a fork or whisk. Stir until most lumps are gone, and the mixture is gooey and gelatinous, about 1 minute. Let sit for at least 5 minutes.
Add the flax mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine thoroughly.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir by hand until just smooth; do not over-stir.
Pour batter into a greased 9\" by 9\" pan. Bake at 350 \u00b0F for 25 min, or until the edges are just slightly browned and the center is fully cooked.
