1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup instant nonfat dry milk

Vegetable oil, for skillet

GRANDMOTHER'S BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD



Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread image

This is BETHANY WEATHERSBY's from AllRecipes.com grandmother's recipe. I must say it is the best cornbread I've ever made and consume. It is sweet and moist, fast and easy to make. In the time it takes to preheat my oven I had prepared the recipe and ready to bake. Tastes so much better than the box kind. I had to put the recipe here because I keep all my favorite recipes on recipezaar.com.

MY GRANDMOTHERS STOVETOP CORNBREAD



My grandmothers stovetop cornbread image

I first made this with my grandmother while standing on a stool. She made this everyday for dinner, (lunch for you Yankees). My grandfather would often just have leftover cornbread and sweet milk at night when coming in from a day in the fields. He was often to tired for more than that. My grandmother never used any sweetener...
