Corn Meal
Veer/Natalia Mylova

"If you wish, you may get up a recipe for 'Southern Corn Bread' for your book, as I am very keen about it with honey... [Also], you will notice that no mention is made of sugar. If you wish to be arbitrary about it, you may add a smidgin* — but not enough to sweeten the finished product. We do not go on record as sponsoring sugar in corn bread or biscuits."

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup corn meal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more to taste

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
 
Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Stir in enough milk to make a very stiff batter. (The eggs and shortening will thin it.) Add the eggs and beat well. Lastly, beat in the melted butter.
 
Transfer to a 9-by-5-inch nonstick loaf pan. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (It should be a nice light brown on top, with a deeper brown crust about the edges.)
