Homesteader Cornbread

So I am convinced that many women buy prepackaged foods because they don't realize how little time it takes to prepare something from scratch. I know that was me and cornbread was one of those foods. I used to love to buy the packaged Marie Calendar's, but this is just as good and super easy. Fresh from the oven with no preservatives or added chemicals - yummy, guilt-free and healthful.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
2 1/2 cups milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Directions
1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine cornmeal and milk; let stand for 5 minutes. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2.In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix in the cornmeal mixture, eggs and oil until smooth (for fluffier cornbread mix up to five minutes). Pour batter into prepared pan.
3.Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean.

*Honey Butter: 1/2 c room temp butter and 1/4 c honey mixed together with a spoon :)
