In a bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat together 1 cup of milk and the eggs and add to the dry ingredients. Add additional milk until you produce a thick batter.

Heat oil in a skillet. Once oil is heated, pour oil into the batter and mix well. Return the empty skillet to the stove-top and sprinkle cornmeal into the bottom. This will ensure that the bottom is browned. Pour batter on top and bake at 425 for 14-20 minutes.
