1 cup yellow corn meal
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar (optional)
4 teaspoons baking powder

Combine all ingredients. Mix well. Store in a plastic bag or tightly covered container at room temperature. May store at room temperature for up to six months.

Making Corn Bread:

Pour mix into a large size bowl. Add 1 egg, 1 cup of milk, and 4 tablespoons of softened shortening. Beat for 1 minute or until smooth.
