Cornbread
1 heaping cup flour (don't level off - just scoop it so it's heaping over the top)
3/4 c cornmeal
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/3 c sugar or sweetener of your choice
1 1/4 c milk
1/4 c shortening
1/2 t vanilla
1 egg
In a bowl, place all the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center. Add one egg, the milk, shortening and vanilla. Using a whisk, start to mix the milk/egg/shortening and slowly start to incorporate the dry into the wet as you continue whisking. When it's sufficiently mixed you will see tiny bits of shortening in it - no worries! Leave them. The batter will not be smooth and doesn't need to be. Pour into a greased 8X8" pan and bake at 400 degrees approximately 25-30 minutes. Serve with butter and or syrup.
