Simple Cornbread With Wheat Germ

This cornbread is a favorite in our house. It has great flavor and texture, and it's not too bad for you either! :-) Serve wedges of piping hot bread with chili, soup, scrambled eggs...

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Yields: 8 wedges

Ingredients

• 1  cup yellow cornmeal
• 3⁄4 cup unbleached flour
• 1⁄4 cup wheat germ
• 4  teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2  tablespoons  sucanat or 2  tablespoons brown sugar
• 2  eggs, beaten
• 1  cup milk
• 1⁄4 cup  melted butter

Directions

1. Stir dry ingredients together.
2. Make a well, add remaining ingredients, and stir just until moistened.
3. Pour into sprayed 9 inch pie plate and bake 25 minutes at 400 degrees; cool on rack 15 minutes, invert bread onto rack, and cut into wedges.
4. Edited to say: I have been making this with 1/2 cup of unbleached flour and 1/2 cup of wheat germ (increasing the wheat germ), and it is just as delicious -- so try it the healthier way if you are so inclined!
