The American Favorites section is where we have placed recipes for dishes that have become American favorites; these recipes are for foods that are enjoyed by many people throughout this great country of ours. In this particular section, I won't assign a specific part of the country as being the origin of the recipe.

1½ c yellow cornmeal 2 eggs
1 c all-purpose flour 6 T melted and cooled butter
1/3 c sugar 8 T melted and cooled vegetable
1 tsp salt shortening
1 T baking powder 1½ c milk
-----------------------------
Preheat the oven to 400°. Sift into a mixing bowl the cornmeal, flour,
sugar, salt and baking powder. Beat the eggs lightly, add the melted butter
and shortening, and stir in the 1½ cups of milk. Pour into the bowl of dry
ingredients and beat together for about a minute, or until smooth. Do not
overbeat. Lightly butter a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan or 8-by-12-inch shallow
baking pan and pour in the batter. Bake in the center of the oven for about
30 minutes, or until the bread comes slightly away from the edge of the pan
and is golden brown. Serve hot. Makes one 9-inch loaf.
