Fantabulous Yankee Cornbread
A little sweeter than Southern and really good! Make this in a 9 inch cast iron skillet for the best results and it may become your favorite corn bread too! DH loves this with Recipe #272121 and fried potatoes. UPDATE!!! YES! I did omit 4 teaspoons of baking powder in the recipe! Mea Culpa! It should be sifted along with the dry ingredients. I am so sorry and thank you for pointing it out to me. SA :( I have corrected the recipe.

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Once the oven is hot start the recipe since you want a screaming hot oven.
- Grease the bottom and sides of the cast iron skillet with the shortening. Use more than 1 tablespoon if you need to get more coverage.
- By hand, sift all the dry ingredients together and stir them to make sure they are combined and make a well in the center.
- Combine the eggs, milk and oil and mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir only until they combine. I fold them together with a spatula.
- Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Gently pour into your cast iron skillet being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
