Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 cups yellow cornmeal
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    • 2 cups milk

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. with rack in center. Place shortening in a 9-to-10-inch cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, and transfer to oven to heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In another bowl, whisk together milk and eggs. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture; stir just until combined. Do not overmix; batter should be lumpy.
