DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan. Combine the flours, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg, then whisk in the milk and butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix until smooth. Transfer to the prepared pan and bake 50 minutes, until golden brown. Cool slightly before cutting.

While cornbread is cooling, preheat oil in large saucepot to 350 degrees.
