Southern Corn Bread Recipe

1 cup yellow cornmeal
4 tsp. baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 tsp. sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup melted shortening or butter

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. Grease an 8-inch square pan or a medium-sized cast iron skillet, heat it up on top of the stove, and then pour the batter into the pan. Bake this in the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt
2 1/4 cups pureed peaches
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 tsp. cinnamon

Cream together the sugar and shortening, followed by the eggs, mixing thoroughly after each one. Add the peach puree and the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add the vanilla and chopped nuts, blending carefully until blended. Pour these into two greased and floured bread pans. Bake for 55 minutes to an hour in 325F oven. Allow the bread to cool for several minutes before removing from the pans, and then cool completely before slicing.
