Ingredients

2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 eggs
2 cups milk
canola oil

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350 and grease an 8x8 pan.
2

Mix the cornmeal, flour, and 2tbs canola oil together until crumbly.
3

Beat eggs into the milk then mix into the cornmeal all at once. Stir just enough to blend thoroughly -- it won't rise well if overmixed.
4

Bake 35-40 minutes or until the center tests done.
5

Let cool a few minutes before cutting then serve warm with butter or other favorite topping.

Note: if you want to increase it for a 13x9 pan I find it works better to use 1 1/2 times the ingredients instead of double. A fully doubled recipe is reluctant to cook fully in the center before the edges get dried out.
