Cornbread

Ingredients

• 120 g flour
• 135 g corn meal
• 150 g sugar
• 15 g baking powder
• 3 g salt
• 240 ml milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 30 ml (30 g) bacon fat or cooking oil

Directions

1. Prep Oven & Pan: Preheat oven to 425°F. Butter a 12" cast-iron skillet, 8" square pan, or 9x13" pan (the 9x13 yields thinner pieces with more butterable surface).
2. Mix Batter: Whisk milk, egg, and fat together. Sift in dry ingredients and mix until combined.
3. Bake: Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan and bake 15-20 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
