Preheat the oven to 475°F (246°C).

Grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet with shortening using your hands.

In a bowl, mix together 1 egg, vegetable oil, and whole milk.

In another bowl, combine cornmeal, corn flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix again until combined.

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

After 5 minutes, check the batter; if it's dry, add 1/4 cup of milk gradually until mixed well.

After resting for 10 minutes, pour the batter into the hot skillet, ensuring it sizzles.

Bake in the oven for 12 to 14 minutes.

After about 11 minutes, check the cornbread; it should be golden brown.

Run a spatula around the edges and test with a toothpick to ensure it's cooked through.

Let it cool slightly before cutting and serving with butter.
