Golden Corn Bread

From my grandmother's collection. The date has faded out, but the recipe card is well worn and has lots of stains on it so I am guessing it is very old. It has to be at least 60 years old because she died in 1938 (unfortunately I never knew her, but my aunts and great aunts tell me she was a fabulous cook). She had 13 children, so she was used to cooking. 
== Ingredients ==
* 1 cup yellow cornmeal
* 1 cup sifted flour
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 3 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 cup shortening
* 1 cup milk
* 1 egg, beaten
== Directions ==
# Preheat oven to 425.
# Combine cornmeal, flour, Sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
# Cut in shortening.
# Mix egg and milk together and add to dry ingredients with a few swift strokes.
# Bake in a cast iron skillet for 20–25 minutes.
