Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
butter
or solid vegetable shortening -- softened
1 1/3 cups cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs

1. Preheat the oven to 375 deg. F. Lightly grease an 11-by-8-inch baking pan
with the butter or the shortening.

2. Stir the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl
until mixed. Beat the milk, oil, and eggs in a separate bowl until blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients and mix with a
fork until just blended - a few lumps won't matter.

3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the center of the oven
until golden brown and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan,
about 35 minutes. Remove and cook 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

NOTES : Many ovens bake unevenly. Check the corn bread halfway through the
baking time and rotate the pan if one side is browning more quickly.
