Southern Cornbread

For me the best part of eating at a restaurant that claims to serve real southern cookin' is the cornbread.  I LOVE a good, moist piece of cornbread.  My friend from dinner group has just such a recipe.  When she would make her chili she would send cornbread as well.  This cornbread is so good that as soon as I got in the car from exchanging our meals and I would have to eat a piece, or two, right then and there.  Having a pan of this in the house is just as dangerous as having extra brownies around for me.

Here's what you'll need:

2 cups flour

2 cups cornmeal

1 1/3 cups sugar

2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons baking powder

2 eggs

2 cups milk

2/3 cup oil

In a large bowl mix together the DRY ingredients.  In another bowl mix the wet ingredients together;  then combine with the dry ingredients.  Do not over mix.  Pour into a UNGREASED 9 x 13 pan and bake at 400 for about 25 minutes.  Bake until the top is golden brown.

Enjoy!
