Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Stir together. In a small bowl combine the yogurt and milk. Add the egg and whisk together then add the baking soda directly to the mixture and whisk again. Pour the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and stir with a fork until combined. In a small bowl, melt 1/4 cup butter. Slowly add melted butter to the batter, stirring until just combined. In a 9 or 10 inch iron skillet, melt 2 tablespoons shortening over medium heat. Pour the batter into the hot skillet. Spread to even out the surface. (Batter should sizzle.) Cook on stovetop for 1 minute, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. The edges will be crispy. Remove from oven and run remaining butter over the top of the cornbread until the entire top shines. Cut into triangles and serve warm. Serves a crowd.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
