Ranch Style Corn Bread

Corn bread is great for breakfast or with soup, chili, stew, or in place of bread for any meal. It is easy to prepare and is finished in about 45 minutes. It is sure to be a favorite and easy enough for kids to make.

 




Grease and flour 9”x9” square pan

Mix together in mixing bowl:

• 1 cup cornmeal (fresh ground if possible) 
• 1 cup white flour
• ¼ cup sugar 
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

Add and stir together until mixed well:

• 1/3 cup melted butter or oil
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk (add a little more milk if batter looks too thick)

Pour into prepared pan and bake at 425 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes or until it tests done. (400 degrees if using glass pan)

Note: Fresh ground corn meal makes all the difference. It is more moist and tender.
You can substitute buttermilk for the milk – use 2 teaspoons soda in place of baking powder. 
(Double the recipe for a 9”x13” pan.)
