Perfect Corn Bread

I keep coming back to this recipe because it's ... well, it's perfect! I still have my first adult cookbook, Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. It's falling apart, but I still refer to it from time to time. Like many of my recipes, it's quick and easy. Cornbread goes great with my Chile Stew, so check that out too.

 Preparation time: 15 minutes       Baking time: 20-25 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup yellow corn meal
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup *soft shortening

​*I use cocunut oil softened for a few seconds in the microwave.

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. If you have a sifter, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. If you don't have a sifter, stir together with a fork or whisk to combine and aerate the mixture.
3. Stir in the cornmeal.
4. Add the eggs, milk, and shortening.
If you have an electric mixture, beat until just smooth, about 1 minute. If you do not have a mixture, use the fork and bet together until smooth. Do not over beat.
5. Pour into a greased 9x9x2-inch pan.
6. Bake in hot oven 12 to 15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool and cut into squares. Serve with butter and honey.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Leave a post here to let me know if you've tried this dish and how it turns out. Good cooking to you.

    Linda M. Kurth is the creative mind behind such stories as the romance, Home of the Heart, and her  memoir, God, the Devil and Divorce, as well as the recipes and crafts you'll find in these pages. Here's how this blog began:
    ​
    "This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

    "I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

    "Do it!" they urged. 

    I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
