Classic Corn Bread

Sometimes simple is best. This is a recipe straight from my red plaid covered, Better Homes and Gardens, "New Cookbook."

2 cups flour
2 cups cornmeal
4 tablespoons sugar or honey
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 beaten eggs
2 cups milk (or 1 cup milk and 1 cup whipping cream)
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Grease the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Stir together dry ingredients. Stir together wet ingredients. Combine and stir, just until combined. Too much stirring makes a tough batter.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Can be halved and baked in a 9 inch square pan.
