Aunt Caroline’s Corn Bread

• ¾ cup corn meal,
• ¾ cup flour,
• 3 teaspoonsful baking powder,
• 1 tablespoon sugar,
• ⅓ teaspoon salt,
• 1 beaten egg,
• ¾ cup milk and water mixed,
• 2 tablespoons melted bacon fat.

Mix in order given, beat well, and bake in a well-greased shallow pan in a hot oven about twenty minutes. Half of the egg will make a very good corn bread. Left-over pieces may be split, lightly buttered, and browned in the oven.
