James's Cornbread

11/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour 
11/2 teaspoons baking powder 
1 teaspoon sugar 
1 teaspoon salt 
1/4 teaspoon chili powder 
1 cup milk 
2 large eggs 
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and chili powder in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs and oil together. Stir the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the cornbread is well risen and a toothpick inserted in the center of it comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
 
A man gradually identifies himself with the form of his fate; a man is, in the long run, his own circumstances.
