Corn Bread with Orange Zest


Ingredients 
Corn meal - 1 3/4 cups
All purpose flour - 1/4 cup
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Oil - 1/2 cup
Baking powder - 3/4 tbsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Milk - 1 cup
Egg - 1
Orange zest (optional) - 1 tsp

Method 

First grind the cornmeal to get finer flour and then proceed to next steps
Pour rest of  the ingredients in a blending jar and pulse to mix all the ingredients.
Remember, the batter will be very runny and it’s OK
Pour the batter in a grease loaf pan and bake at 350 F for 40 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean
Cool and slice with a spread of warm butter
Loved the citrus burst to this bread.

Notes 
Original recipe called for 3 eggs, 1 cup sugar and 1 table spoon of baking powder. I reduced the amounts and the bread came out soft and perfect sweetness.

Make it gluten free by replacing 1/4 cup of all purpose flour with corn meal
