Mom's Cornbread

Story:
I'm not sure that there's really a great story to this recipe, well, except that my mom is practically famous for it!! (Well, among her kids, at least.) It's a sweet and delicious cornbread... it looks like a cake and it tastes FABULOUS with her beef stew or with my chili.

Ingredients:
1 C flour
1 t salt
1 T baking powder
1/2 C sugar
3/4 C yellow corn meal
2 eggs, well beaten
1 C milk
1/4 C oil
2 t vanilla

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together.
Pour into a greased and floured 8x8 (or 9x9) pan.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes.

Note:
Double the recipe for a 9x13 pan. Baking time seems to vary a little, but I've never gotten it down to perfection. Just bake until it's lightly browned on top... oh, and the good ol' bake-until-toothpick-comes-out-clean trick works as well.
