--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        Butter or solid vegetable
                        - shortening -- softened
   1 1/3  c             Corn meal
   1      c             All-purpose flour
   3      tb            Sugar
   1      tb            Baking powder -- +1 ts, divided
     1/2  ts            Salt
   1      c             Milk
     1/2  c             Vegetable oil
   2      lg            Eggs

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly grease an 11x8" baking pan with
the butter or shortening.

Stir the corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large
bowl until mixed. Beat the milk, oil, and eggs in a separate bowl
until blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the dry
ingredients and mix with a fork until just blended--a few lumps won't
matter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the center of the
oven until golden brown and the edges begin to pull away from the
sides of the pan, about 35 minutes. Remove and cook 5 to 10 minutes
before cutting and serving.

Notes: Many ovens bake unevenly. Check the corn bread halfway through
the baking time and rotate the pan if one side is browning more
quickly.
