Cornbread

Recipe status: Not so great, but made it better.
Song: Slender Frame - a-Ha

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
4 tbsp sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup oil

Bake in greased 6" or 8" pan for 25 minutes @ 425.

The batch was dry and crumbly, not sweet at all, in fact, it had hardly any flavor at all. It also burnt on the bottom and sides before the middle baked. This particular recipe was a flop. However, I tweaked it and came out with an amazing result. Here's what I did:

First of all, I doubled the recipe, so that it would fill a 9x13 pan. Then, I increased the amount of milk and sugar, and soaked the corn meal in the milk for an hour to allow it to soften. I also added honey. I baked at a lower temperature for a longer period of time. With these changes, the bread stands on its own, and has no need for butter, honey, or any other additives.

2 cups corn meal
3 cups milk
2 cups sugar (lower the amount to taste if desired)
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
2 heaping tablespoons baking powder
2 tsp salt

Bake in greased (sprayed) 9x13 pan @ 350 for 45 minutes

Much much much better. :) It was well received at the luncheon.
