1/2-2/3 cup bacon or other drippings, lard, or vegetable shortening, or 1/2 cup vegetable oil (recycled is fine)
3 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking power
3 1/2 cups water
1 cup bird seed or blackflower sunflower seeds
Preheat the oven to 350. Melt the fat or oil in a skillet and use some to grease a 9x13 inch square pan. Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, combine the oil/fat with the liquid; stir into dry ingredients just to moisten. Add bird seed or sunflower seeds. Put into pan and bake 40-50 minutes, or until corn bread is moderately browned and starts to pull away from pan sides. Let cool in pans.
I usually cut to fit in a suet holder, wrap it, and freeze it. I put it out frozen as it seems to keep the blue jays entertained. They go through about 1 holder a day, and really seem to enjoy it, to the point if they run out, they sit out there and scream until I refill! Enjoy :=)
