Skillet Bread

I got this one from my mother, whom – I believe – got it from a newspaper years ago.  This one is not diet food.

1 c flour
1/3 c cornmeal
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sugar
3 Tbsp butter
1 pinch salt
1/2 c milk

Mix dry ingredients.  Cut in butter.  Gradually add milk.  Kneed into a ball.  Break off fist sized balls from the main ball.  Pat flat with hands until about 1/2 inch thick. 

Drop into frying pan with lots of butter.  Fry about 10 minutes on medium heat on each side until golden brown all around.
