Pilgrims Cornbread

I'm pretty sure the "New World" owes the survival of it's first citizens to this delicious and hearty food. So today I bring it back to the "Old World" for your enjoyment!

In one bowl mix together:
-190ml cornmeal
-375ml flour
-4 tsp baking powder
-60 ml sugar
-1 tsp salt

In a separate bowl mix together:
-375 ml milk
-1 egg
-2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Combine both mixtures together. Do not overmix. Lumps are okay.

Bake in 8" pan at 200 C for 35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.

Serve warm with butter.

Canadian Pancakes!

Combine in one large bowl:
-250ml flour
-2 Tbsp sugar
-1/2 tsp salt
-1 tsp baking soda
-2 tsp baking powder

In a separate bowl mix:
-1 egg
-250ml milk
-190ml plain yogurt

Mix milk mixture into flour mixture. Add 2 Tbsp vegetable oil. Stir well until combined. You may also need to add some more milk if the batter is too thick.

Fry up over medium heat. You will know when to flip them because little bubbles will appear around the edges of the pancake.

Top with maple syrup, stewed apples, or other fruit of your choice. They are also delicious if you add blueberries, apples and cinnamon, bananas or chocolate chips to the batter before you fry them.
