AUNT CAROLINE’S CORN BREAD

¾ cup corn meal,
¾ cup flour,
3 teaspoonsful baking powder,
1 tablespoon sugar,
⅓ teaspoon salt,
1 beaten egg,
¾ cup milk and water mixed,
2 tablespoons melted bacon fat.

Mix in order given, beat well, and bake in a well-greased shallow pan in a hot oven about twenty minutes. Half of the egg will make a very good corn bread. Left-over pieces may be split, lightly buttered, and browned in the oven.
