Ingredients

2 cups self rising cornmeal mix (not just plain cornmeal)
2 eggs (or 1 extra large egg)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or an equivalent amount of refined coconut oil, bacon grease or lard )
1/4 cup vegetable oil for the skillet
1 3/4 cups buttermilk or regular milk (Start with 1 cup of liquid if you are using regular milk and add the rest as necessary)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
If you are using cast iron, place the 1/4 cup oil in the bottom of a 9" skillet and place over high heat on your stovetop while you make the batter.
Pour the cornmeal into a bowl and add the oil, egg, and buttermilk.
Mix until combined and drop a small amount into your skillet.
If it sizzles immediately, go ahead and pour in your batter to within 1 inch of the top. If you want a thinner cornbread, just don't pour in as much.
Transfer the skillet from the stove top to the hot oven.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden and set.

SOUTHERN CORNBREAD, MILLIE'S

Southern Cornbread, Millie's image

We love a good skillet of old fashioned, Southern cornbread. This cornbread is sweet and moist, and not at all dry. It is delicious with just a pat of fresh butter and darn right fantastic in a bowl of beans ! Your family is sure to love this recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup(s) cornmeal mix
1/2 cup(s) self rising flour
1/4 cup(s) pure cane sugar
1/2 cup(s) cultured buttermilk
1/4 cup(s) oil
2 large eggs (beaten)
2 tablespoon(s) bacon grease
- *** substitute for self-rising flour, for each cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Steps:

In an 8 inch skillet add 2 tbsp. bacon grease. Use a paper towel or brush to coat the sides of skillet. Put it into oven and turn on to 350 degrees. Pre-heat for 10 minutes. ( You can cheat and put skillet on top of stove and heat till hot, but not smoking.) Heating the skillet forms a nice crust.
In a medium bowl combine cornmeal mix, flour and sugar. Mix it up. Now add buttermilk, beaten eggs and oil and stir to mix well.
Pour into hot skillet. Put into oven and bake 18-20 minutes @ 350 degrees. Do not over-bake as that will make it dry ! Remove from oven and slice into 6 even pieces.
Serve with a pat of fresh salted butter, if desired. Enjoy !
