1 to 2 Tablespoons sugar
1 cup 1% or skim milk
2 eggs
¼ cup vegetable oil or melted margarine or butter

This is a nice, basic and reliable cornbread recipe. I have made it several times, most recently to go with our New Years Day black eyed peas and greens. Best thing of all is that it is easy to make half a batch and bake as 6 corn muffins. These freeze well also.
