From the Fannie Farmer Cookbook (1965 edition). Fannie says you can use butter, bacon fat, chicken fat, or beef drippings for the shortening, but I usually use canola oil.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder (1 t baking soda plus 2 t cream of tartar for richer version)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (or 1 c yogurt plus 1/4 c milk for richer version)
1 egg, well beaten
2 tablespoons shortening, melted (or 2 t canola oil)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease an 8 square baking dish.
2. Sift dry ingredients together.
3. Combine wet ingredients and gently mix into dry mixture.
4. Spoon into baking dish and bake 20 minutes.
