In a large bowl or food processor base, combine the flour, corn meal, sugar, dry milk powder, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the oil or shortening with a pastry blender, or process until mixture becomes small crumbs.
Remove from processor, if using, and place ingredients in large bowl.
Stir in eggs and water until mixture is just blended. Do not over-mix the batter.
Grease a 9x9 inch square pan. Pour batter into pan and spread until it is evenly distributed.
Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes (or longer), or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cornbread will turn a very light golden brown on top.
Remove cornbread pan to a wire rack to cool slightly. Cut into 9 pieces, serve, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
If using an 8x8 inch square pan, remember you will need a longer cook time!
