NO-FLOUR CORNBREAD
This recipe was the one my mother used, and her mother before her. Beyond that I can't go! It spoiled me for anything calling itself "cornbread" that has flour or sweeteners in it -- I call those "corn cake." This is great with chili, stew, and other hearty dishes. My dad used to crumble it up into buttermilk and eat it with a spoon. It's a requirement for our family's New Years Day dinner, along with the roast pork and black-eyed peas. It's also the main ingredient in Thanksgiving/Christmas/anytime turkey stuffing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Put first 5 ingredients in mixing bowl. (If it makes you feel better, go ahead and mix the dry ingredients, whisk the eggs into the buttermilk, then combine dry/wet ingredients).
- Mix with large spoon or whisk.
- Put bacon grease in well-seasoned 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium to high heat.
- Just as the bacon grease is about to start smoking, pour it into the other ingredients, stirring as you pour (if you can manage it). Leave enough in the skillet to coat the bottom and sides.
- Pour entire mixture into the skillet.
- Place skillet on middle rack of oven; bake until cornbread is springy in the middle, browned and pulling away from the skillet on the sides (about 15-20 minutes).
- Remove from oven and invert skillet over serving plate. If cornbread does not drop easily, you may need to run an icing spatula or even a flexible metal egg-turner around/under it so it comes loose.
- Recipe halves well, just remember you can't cut the bacon grease by half because you still need to coat the skillet.
- Serve hot, with plenty of butter. Or margarine, if you insist.
NO CORNMEAL CORNBREAD
Think you can't make cornbread without cornmeal? No problem! We use sweet in-season corn and blend it up with milk and sour cream to deliver all that good corn flavor, even without cornmeal. Don't hold back if you get the craving to stir a little Cheddar, scallions and crispy bacon in there, as well.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda together in a large bowl.
- Combine the sour cream, milk, butter, corn and eggs in a blender and blend until smooth. Add to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Butter a 9-by 13-inch baking dish and pour in the batter.
- Bake until the cornbread springs back when pressed and is golden around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes in the baking dish before slicing.
