Alas, as I was getting the ingredients together, I realized that I'm almost out of flour and the milk in the fridge was actually quite a bit less than I needed. Not to worry though as the flour turned out to be just enough and the milk, well, I stretched it with some honey flavored Greek yogurt and it was damn tasty! With a wire whisk mix together 3/4 cup of flour 2-1/2 tsp baking powder 3 tbls brown sugar (i used a fork to mash it into smaller grains though I'm sure there's an easier way to do that) 3/4 tsp salt 1-1/2 cups cornmeal 3tbls butter or bacon fat 2 eggs, beaten In measuring cup I poured ...
