I had to think about it for awhile ; whether or not to include a food recipe at a web site devoted to amateur radio. And then I figured why not . . . a ham 'n' cornbread are always good together . . . . Anyway, I've used this recipe for a long time and it's a good one, so I thought I'd share it with you. I don't claim to be the originator, I saw it somewhere. I've also seen similar recipes that use fresh corn cut from the cob rather than cream style corn from a can.

• 1 cup sifted all purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow corn meal
• ¼ cup sugar
• 4 tsp. baking powder
• ½ tsp. salt
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup cream style corn
• 3 Tbsp. butter, melted

• In a bowl, sift together the first five ingredients.
• In another bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix lightly.
• Gradually add the dry mixture to the liquid mixture and stir to form a batter.
• Spoon the batter into a  9 inch cast iron skillet.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes in a preheated 425° ( F ) oven.

Not only is a ham good with cornbread, but other dishes are good with it too. The recipes for some of my favorite cornbread companions are listed below. Try 'em, I know you'll like 'em !
