Homesteader Cornbread

My neighbor brought this recipe over to me after I swore I'd never make cornbread again because of the huge mess my kids made with it ... it's amazing ... it's moist and sweet and so good. I thinks she also saw my kids eating their dinner at the picnic table out back when it was pretty cold out because I didn't want the crumbs all over the kitchen ... hehe ...

Homesteader Cornbread

1 1/2 cups cornmeal
2 1/2 cups milk (I used powdered)
1 cup white flour
1 cup wheat flour
1 T baking powder
1 t salt
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil (I used light olive oil)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine cornmeal and milk in a small bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Mix in eggs and oil. Grease a 9 X 13 pan.

Mix together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Pour wet ingredients into dry and combine until smooth. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 30 minutes or until knife comes out clean.
