Granddad’s Cornbread

¾ cup flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cup cornmeal
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter/bacon drippings, melted + 2 tablespoons for pan
1 cup milk

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix together dry ingredients in small bowl. In another small bowl, beat egg and stir in milk and butter.

Combine dry and wet ingredients (with fewest strokes possible).

Place 9-inch skillet/pan in oven with additional 2 tablespoons of butter until butter is melted and begins to sizzle. Pour batter into hot pan.

Bake until lightly browned around the edges (20-25 minutes).
