Old Fashioned Southern Cornbread

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 3 tablespoons corn oil
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1. Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan (or, for more authenticity, a cast iron skillet). Preheat oven to 425. Place pan in oven to preheat.
2. Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, and sugar in mixing bowl. Add corn oil and use a cutting motion with spoon so that oil will be well blended with other ingredients. Add the boiling water and mix well.
3. Add cold milk and stir. Let stand for a few minutes until batter has cooled to room temperature.
4. Mix in egg and then baking powder; beat briskly.
5. Remove preheated pan from oven and pour in batter. Bake until lightly browned (approx. 20 minutes).
