Cornbread

Ingredients

1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal or 1 1/4 cups white cornmeal or 1 1/4 cups blue cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
you might want to reduce the sugar to 1/3 cup and use 2 egg

Heat oven to 400³F.
Grease bottom and side or round pan, 9×1 1/2 inches, or square pan, 8x8x2 inches, with shortening.
Beat milk, butter and egg in large bowl with hand beater or wire whisk.
Stir in remaining ingredients all at once just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).
Pour into pan.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Serve warm if desired.

– Added 3 instead of 1 egg

– Added 2 instead 1 1/4 cup of cornmeal

– Added 2 instead of 1 cup of flaur

– I did not add sugar at all.
