NANNY'S CORNBREAD
My grandmother baked this cornbread in a black iron skillet in a wood-burning stove. It was absolutely delicious, with a crisp, crunchy bottom crust and a moist tender inside. Great served with pinto beans, cold milk and green onions.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put lard or shortening in baking pan or skillet. Place oven-proof skillet (a well-seasoned iron skillet works best) on rack and let shortening melt while mixing batter.
- In large bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, eggs and buttermilk. When shortening is ready, pour into batter and blend well. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle dry cornmeal over hot grease left in bottom of skillet. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 40-50 minutes until top is nicely browned and bread tests done in center like a cake.
- Cut in wedges and serve hot with plenty of butter. This is great with chili or a thick stew.

FANNY FARMER CORN BREAD
This came from my first, and most favorite cookbook. It makes a slightly sweet cornbread, which I adore. My hubby won't eat sweet cornbread, though, so I adapt it for him by leaving the sugar out. You can also make this recipe with buttermilk, by adding a 1/2 t. of baking soda along with the other ingredients. I'm posting it here so that I can access the recipe when I am away from home and don't have my book. (I also usually grind my own flour and cornmeal, and it still makes great bread!)

NANNY'S INDIANA CORN BREAD
Best made in a caste iron skillet. It took me years to find a recipe that tasted just like my Great grandmothers corn bread.

Steps:
- 1. Put the skillet in the oven and preheat to 375 degrees.
- 2. Combine the dry ingredients except for the baking soda in a bowl.
- 3. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk and the baking soda. Set aside.
- 4. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the sugar until combined. Add the oil and mix until combined. Pour this mixture into the buttermilk/baking soda, and mix.
- 5. When the oven is preheated, toss the lard into the skillet and let it melt.
- 6. Meanwhile, pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and mix in as few strokes as it takes to just make the dough come together.
- 7. Pull the skillet out of the oven, swirling to get the butter covering the bottom and up the sides of the skillet. Pour the batter immediately into the pan, smoothing the top, then back into the oven for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown and pulled away from the sides of the pan. Turn out onto a cutting board, cut into wedges and serve.
