Ingredients
|
2 cups Bisquick
½ cup yellow cornmeal ½ cup sugar ½t baking powder |
1 stick (½ cup) melted butter
2 eggs, beaten 1 cup milk |
What To Do
To prep, set out two mixing bowls and one small microwave-safe bowl. Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
In one of the mixing bowls, whisk together Bisquick, cornmeal, sugar and baking powder, getting most of the Bisquick lumps out. Melt butter in the small microwave-safe bowl and set aside. Mix eggs and milk together in the last mixing bowl. Add melted butter to eggs and milk. It will clump up a little, don't worry.
Whisk dry stuff into the milk/egg/butter and mix well. Because of the cornmeal, it will be a little gritty-looking. Pour into an 8 x 8 inch pan.
Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or golden and a toothpick jabbed into the middle comes out cleanly.

Notes and Talking Story
- A word on the recipe's provenance. The recipe comes via my Aunty who lives in SoCal (Southern California). Hence, my SoCal Aunty.
- She sent me her Buddhist church's annual cookbook, where I found this recipe. So really the only thing Buddhist about it is that is from a cookbook produced by a Buddhist church. But it does clarify how this recipe came to be.
- It is also important that you use baking POWDER and not baking SODA. Trust us on this one. We accidentally used baking soda once, and it produced a flat, salty block of inedible.
