  1. 1

    Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan (or, for more authenticity, a cast iron skillet). Preheat oven to 425. Place pan in oven to preheat.

  2. 2

    Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, and sugar in mixing bowl. Add corn oil and use a cutting motion with spoon so that oil will be well blended with other ingredients. Add the boiling water and mix well.

  3. 3

    Add cold milk and stir. Let stand for a few minutes until batter has cooled to room temperature.

  4. 4

    Mix in egg and then baking powder; beat briskly. Remove preheated pan from oven and pour in batter. Bake until lightly browned (approx. 20 minutes).
