Aunt Ilea's Cornbread (Sweet)

Serves 9.

I like the Southern "sour" corn bread as well and have tried many recipes, but here is the one I always come back to, an unusual version using light cream instead of a fat and milk/buttermilk combination.

It's from a great aunt, one of my paternal grandfather's seven sisters, who could have done a "Great Cooks" series all on their own.

• 1 c flour
  
• 2/3 c cornmeal
  
• 1/3 c sugar
  
• 4 tsp baking powder
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• 1 c light cream (half and half)
  
• 2 eggs
  

Throw everything in a bowl, beat with a whisk until smooth and bake 25 minutes or so in a greased 8" or 9" square pan at 400 degrees, or until top browns.
