This is my grandma's recipe for corn bread. My parents recently lost their copy of the recipe, so I'm really happy I had one and could share it with them! Here it is for anyone else who'd like to try it.
Grandma O's Corn Bread
1 1/4 cup flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 cup corn meal
1 egg -- well beaten
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp. melted shortening
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add corn meal, mix well. Add well-beaten egg, milk, and shortening into dry ingredients. Beat briskly. Pour into a well-greased 8x8" pan. May line pan with waxed or brown paper. Bake in a slow oven.
(I bake it at 400 for 20 minutes.)
