Southern Corn Bread Recipe

1 cup yellow cornmeal
4 tsp. baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp. salt

Preheat your oven to 425F. Combine all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Add the wet ingredients and stir until just blended. Don’t over blend; you want it to be slightly lumpy.

Bake this in the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
