Depression Cornbread

Melt 1/3 cup any grease (bacon grease is best) in 9x9 pan.
Sift together ¾ cup cornmeal, 1 scant cup flour, 3 scant t baking powder, 1 t salt, ¼ cup sugar.
Add melted grease and 1-1/8 cups powdered milk which has been mixed into liquid. This should be about the consistency of box cake mix. The grease from the pan should coat the pan thoroughly. Bake 30 min at 400°F or until golden brown.



This recipe is very economical and good to serve with casseroles, soups, stews, etc. Excellent with beans.
