Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal $0.24
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour $0.15
  • 1/4 cup sugar $0.20
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder $0.24
  • 1/2 tsp salt $0.02
  • 1 cup milk $0.31
  • 1 large egg $0.27
  • 1/4 cup cooking oil $0.08

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF and coat the inside of a 9-inch pie plate, cast iron skillet, or 8x8 casserole dish with non-stick spray (or butter for more flavor).
  • In a large bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and oil.
  • Pour the bowl of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir just until everything is moist. Avoid over stirring. It's okay if there are a few lumps.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top and edges are golden brown. Cut into 8 pieces and serve.
