Traditional Cornbread

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal (Arrowhead Mills makes a fine milled one)

1 cup white whole wheat flour (try spouted flour for easier digestibility)

1/4 cup sucanat

3 teaspoons baking powder

Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup yogurt or sour cream

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon butter or bacon fat, melted

Add the wet ingredients into the dry, and mix thoroughly. Pour into a greased pan, bake at 425 degrees F. for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into squares. This may also be baked in a bread pan, but it crumbles a lot when cut. Done in a baking pan, it come out like brownies and is much easier to eat. (And toast, so you can put even more butter!)
