1 cup yellow cornmeal

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup oil (vegetable, canola)
1 egg


Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Combine dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and stir until mixed. Okay to have some lumps.

Bake in an 8 or 9 in square pan that has been greased for 20-25 minutes.
Or bake in 12 greased muffin cups for 15-20 minutes.
Or best yet bake in a 10-12" cast iron skillet that has been preheated in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
