How to Make Favorite Non Crumble Cornbread

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
While oven is heating, melt 1/2 cup of shortening in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over low heat. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
Add 2 large eggs and 1 cup milk to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the melted shortening into the batter and gently stir until evenly distributed.
Pour batter into the hot cast iron skillet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
