Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 teaspoon bacon grease (to grease the pan)
  • 3/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1 1/8 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 1/3 cup shortening (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (not buttermilk)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a square pyrex pan with bacon grease. Pyrex works better than metal for cornbread, gives is a crunchy crust.

  • Step 2: Mix dry ingredients, cut in shortening (or stir in oil).

  • Step 3: Whisk egg and milk together, then stir into dry ingredients. Don't overmix.

  • Step 4: You can add in any other ingredients you like, but not too much so the batter still holds together well. You'll have to increase your cooking time if you add extra ingredients.

  • Step 5: Pour into pan and bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until nicely browned.

  • Step 6: Serve warm, fresh out of the oven.

  • Step 7: Note: Don't use buttermilk, it overwhelms the other flavors.
