A delicious change of pace for cornbread lovers. This recipe can be used to make afternoon tea muffins or cornbread for breakfast without changing anything other than the size and shape of the bake pan. It is as easy as pie and packed with nutritious flavor.
Mix all dry ingredients; set aside. In another bowl, combine milk, shortening, applesauce, and beaten egg. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients all at one time. Add raisins if using. Batter will be very thick. Do not overmix.
Pour into greased 9x9 inch pan and bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. (Test for doneness since it is a heavier-than-usual cornbread batter). If the center seems less than done, cover the entire top with foil to prevent over-browning and increase bake time as needed (5 minutes at the time).
Makes 9 (3 inch) squares, or 9 regular-sized muffins

Source: This recipe ended up in our Book of Family Favorites about 20 years ago, but there is no note as to how it got there or who we got it from. It is a wonderful breakfast cornbread and one that even most children enjoy. I serve it with soft-scrambled eggs or thick wedges of extra-sharp cheddar cheese.
