¼ cup cooking oil or butter

1. Sift together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. (I never sift and it still works)
2. Add eggs, milk and oil or melted butter. Beat until just smooth-do not overbeat.
3. Turn into a greased 9x9x2 inch baking pan. Bake in a 425: oven for 20-25 minutes.
4. Can add drained corn, bacon, finely chopped jalapeno peppers etc. for a different taste.
