World's Best Cornbread
In my opinion this is the best cornbread I have ever had and really the only cornbread I enjoy.  It is very moist (like a cake),  a little sweet (but not too much), and so wonderful hot out of the oven.

Makes 16 Servings

1 cup All-purpose flour
1 cup Corn meal
1/4 cup Granulated sugar
4 tsp. Baking powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 cup Milk
3 Eggs
1/4 cup Oil

Preheat oven to 500º. Mix dry ingredients together. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat with a wire whisk (or a spoon) until all lumps are gone. Pour into a greased and preheated iron skillet or a greased square pan.  Bake until a knife poked into the center comes out clean (approximately 15 minutes).

Tips

  • To make cornbread muffins, reduce the temperature to 450º, pour the batter into a greased muffin pan (filling each cup half-way) and bake until a knife poked in the center of the center-most muffin comes out clean (15-20 minutes).
  • Corn oil gives the bread a good flavor. However, you may use vegetable, peanut oil, canola oil, or melted butter instead.
