Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Into a large mixing bowl sift the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
Beat the eggs lightly, and then add the melted butter and shortening. Stir in the milk. Pour into the bowl of dry ingredients and beat together for about one minute, just until the batter is smooth and everything is incorporated. Do not overbeat!
Lightly butter an 8" by 12" shallow baking pan, a cast iron skillet, or a muffin tray and pour batter in.
Place in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, depending on what you’re cooking the cornbread in, until the bread starts to pull away slightly from the edges and is turning golden brown.
Serve and enjoy!
