Cornbread recipe desperately needed (in English)

Ingredients:
2 cups White corn meal
1 cup Flour
2 cups Milk
2 tablespoons Shortening
2 tablespoons Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 Onion, chopped
2 Eggs, beaten
Pepper to taste

Directions:

To make cornmeal bread: Make a batter of the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, shortening (oil from the baking fowl can be used) and milk.

Bake in a hot oven (400) until done, about half an hour.

What time is dinner ready then, Smorgs?

....and what should I bring?


(nice to see you back, by the way)

Thanks so much, mikey...

but the Cornbread I had didn't have onions in it, it was more like a cake, but not sweet.

How much is in a cup?

Whats shortening (butter?)

Lord L, just bring yourself!

PS I've got Ferrero Roche as well

8 oz in a cup

leave out the onions and pepper and butter will do fine

Bugger the Ferrero Roche, I've got Eccles and Lardy cakes.

Ooooh Ellpuss dahliing...you know how to spoil a girl!

Eccles AND Lardy Cakes? There will be crumbs everywhere (and perhaps the odd currant)

Cornbread

1 cup (250 ml) yellow cornmeal
1 cup (250 ml) sifted all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons (20 ml) baking powder
3/4 tsp. (3.75 ml) salt
1 tsp. (5 ml) sugar
1 egg slightly beaten
1 cup (250 ml) milk
2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted shortening or butter

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Sift dry ingredients together. Add egg, milk and shortening/butter. Beat one minute at low speed or 300 vigorous strokes by hand. Bake in a greased 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan for approximately 20-25 minutes.

Thankyou so much for your recipies - it was very kind. I have printed them off.

Thanks Mckenzie

Thanks for posting the question, smorgs - I've always wanted to try cornbread after watching The Green Mile.

Heating the oven up right now....

Did you make it?

Try it with butter and honey. Mmmmmmm.....

Baking powder biscuits... Another great creation of American cuisine.

I did. I tried mckenzie's recipe and got more than I'd bargained for. It wasn't bad, but American mothers would probably weep at my efforts.
Drewdad's right about the honey - very good.
I gave a bit to the fella that delivers my organic veg and d'you know what he said?
(I hate to admit this)
He said he'd like to try some in a thick, vegetable gravy... with tatters!
This tells me that I probably failed miserably!
