Hello, hope you are having a great Monday!  If you have a collection of cast iron cookware, you may have a corn stick pan.  Here is a recipe for corn sticks.

Corn Sticks:

You will need:

1/2 c. flour, all purpose
1/2 c. white cornmeal
1  t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1 t. sugar
1 medium egg
1/2 c. milk
1T. vegetable oil or bacon drippings

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and generally coat your corn stick pan with vegetable oil.  Place the corn stick pan on a cookie sheet and put in the oven to heat up.

Mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.  In a separate small bowl, mix the egg, milk and oil.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pout in the egg mixture.  Stir until mixed, but don't overstir.  The mixture will be a little lumpy and that's fine.

Spoon the batter into the hot corn stick pan, filling each stick level with the rim.

Bake until the corn sticks spring back when touched in the center, this will be about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let the pan cool for about 5 minutes.  Then loosen each stick with a fork and remove by inverting the pans.
