By á-174942

Ingredients

• 2 cups yellow cornmeal
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 5 large eggs

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9- by 13-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, sift or stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the milk, oil and eggs. Add the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined. (Batter will be wet and a little lumpy.) Pour into prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the corn bread is pulling away at the edges.

Cool in the pan, then cut into 15 squares.
