Old-Fashioned Southern Corn Bread
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup corn meal
1 cup whole wheat flour (I used regular ol' white flour, I think)
1 cup milk
Dash of salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 to 1/2 cup honey or molasses (I used cane syrup)
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour small amount of oil into cast-iron skillet (to grease it). Heat skillet in oven. Combine remaining ingredients in bowl; mix well. Pour into heated skillet. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until tests done (clean toothpick). Yield: 10 servings (unless you cut it into 8 pieces like I did).
