Corn Bread

Here's a recipe for corn bread that I used at Thanksgiving. The use of a hot pan helps it not to have cracks on top. (This can also be made on the stove top with a covered frying pan.)
1/2 c yellow cornmeal 1 c all-purpose flour 1/2 t baking soda 1/4 t salt 2 T sugar 1 slightly beaten egg 1/4 c vegetable oil 3/4 c milk 1 T honey 1 T butter (for pan)
Place loaf pan in heated oven. In small bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add rest (except butter). Mix until just moistened. Place 1 T butter in hot pan. Let melt. Pour in batter. Bake in a 375° F oven about 25 minutes. (If using frying pan on stove, melt butter in pan, add batter, turn down heat to lowest setting. Cover pan and let sit for 15 - 20 min.)
