Sunday afternoon.
Decided to make black beans and corn bread.
So did Penelope.
Penelope our hen, that is.
What you'll need:
1 cup of yellow cornmeal
1 cup sifted flour
1/4 cup of sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup oil
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs- preferably blue but others colors will do
Preheat the oven to 400
Combine all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
Mix wet ingredients together and add to dry ingredients.
Do not over mix- just a few strokes will do.
Hold your hen and drink your wine.
Place in greased 9 inch pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
After the cornbread comes out
immediately cut yourself a slice and slap on some butter.
Crumble on top of some hot black beans
and garnish with cilantro.
Cheers! And don't forget to share with you friends.
Ha! What a great helper you've got!
