Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 3 tablespoons corn oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  1. Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan (or, for more authenticity, a cast iron skillet). Preheat oven to 425. Place pan in oven to preheat.
  2. Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, and sugar in mixing bowl. Add corn oil and use a cutting motion with spoon so that oil will be well blended with other ingredients. Add the boiling water and mix well.
  3. Add cold milk and stir. Let stand for a few minutes until batter has cooled to room temperature.
  4. Mix in egg and then baking powder; beat briskly.
  5. Remove preheated pan from oven and pour in batter. Bake until lightly browned (approx. 20 minutes).
