2 heaping tablespoons butter flavored Crisco
2 eggs
2 cups cornmeal, yellow or white
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 10" cast iron skillet

Mix together cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and pepper. Add milk until you have the consistency of a cake batter. Add eggs and mix well.

In the skillet, melt shortening. Move the skillet around until well coated.

Pour the remainder into the batter and mix. Pour the batter into the skillet.

Bake at 375 for 40 minutes or until light brown.

*Cornbread will not stick to a seasoned skillet.
