   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                cup  cornmeal
   1                cup  all-purpose flour
      1/4           cup  sugar
   4          teaspoons  baking powder
      1/2      teaspoon  salt
   2                     eggs -- beaten
   1                cup  whole milk
      1/4           cup  vegetable oil
   3        tablespoons  bacon fat

Active: 10 min
Total: 45 min

Serving suggestions: salted butter, blackstrap molasses

Special equipment: a 9" square cast-iron skillet

Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400F.

Sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a 
mixing bowl. Add the eggs, milk and oil and mix together using a 
rubber spatula until barely combined (it will not be smooth). Be 
careful to not overmix as this will prevent the cornbread from rising.

Spoon the bacon fat into the center of a 9" square cast-iron skillet. 
Slide the skillet into the oven to melt the bacon fat and get it 
almost smoking, 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully remove the skillet from 
the oven and set on the stove.

Immediately pour the cornbread batter into the hot skillet. (As the 
batter is added to the skillet, the bacon fat surrounds it on the 
sides and bottom and will essentially fry the crust in the oven.) 
Quickly transfer the skillet back to the oven. Bake until the top is 
golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out 
clean, about 20 minutes.

Let cool slightly in the skillet. Cut into 9 squares and serve warm 
with salted butter and blackstrap molasses.
