Appalachian Style Cornbread

Step 1

Put corn oil or bacon grease in a 6” iron skillet and put your skillet in the oven to preheat to 400 degrees. While it's preheating, slightly beat eggs into milk.

Step 2

Sift together the corn meal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 3

Mix the dry and wet ingredients together.

Step 4

When the oil/oven is preheated, pour the oil or grease into the mixture, leaving a layer in the pan. Stir quickly. Pour batter in the pan, and bake for about 20 minutes or so, until when you stick a toothpick in it, it comes out clean.
