Cornbread

Some people have only ever had "Southern" cornbread, which is dry, dry, DRY, and kind of tasteless. This cornbread is nothing like that! This recipe is for "Northern" cornbread, and is moist, sweet, and delicious. It's wonderful plain, and even better when topped with butter, honey, or jam. Or you can mix it into your bowl of chili, which is what my husband likes to do! This recipe has been passed down from my grandma.

---Cornbread---

Ingredients:
-1 and 1/4 cup and 1 Tbsp flour
-1 and 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
-1 and 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
-1 and 1/2 tsp salt
-2 eggs
-1/4 cup and 2 Tbsp sugar
-1 and 1/2 cup milk
-1/4 cup and 1 and 1/2 tsp honey
-1/4 cup and 1 and 1/2 tsp vegetable oil

Directions:
Mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and the sugar together, then add the milk, honey, and oil and mix well. Quickly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until there are no lumps. Bake at 400 degrees in a greased 9 x 13 pan for 20 minutes. Or you can make cornbread muffins- bake those at 375 degrees for 12 minutes or less.
