If McDonald's wants its mojo back it should make french fries the old-fashioned way

Seen here.

"In the good old days, McDonald's fries were cooked in beef tallow. But customer demand for less saturated fat prompted a switch to vegetable oil in the early '90s."

Double Corn Bread in a cast iron skillet

Same as Betty Crocker, just use corn flour instead of the all-purpose flour, and double the milk to two cups.










DOUBLE CORN BREAD

1 c yellow cornmeal
1 c corn flour
2 T sugar
4 t baking powder
.5 t salt
2 c milk
.25 c vegetable shortening
1 egg

Grease the skillet.
Combine all ingredients in a blender bowl and blend until thoroughly mixed.
Pour and scrape into the skillet.
Bake at 425 degrees F about 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Serve with breakfast sausage and maple syrup, or with lots of butter and honey on top.
