This is the only way my family has ever fixed cornbread. My grandma showed me how when I was real young. The secret is the Southern Corn Meal. I know you can not get it in the North or California because I have to mail it to family there.
Ingredients
- 3 cups self-rising corn meal.. Not yellow. I prefer Sunflower. shopping list
- 1 egg shopping list
- buttermilk shopping list
- oil shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 450. While oven is heating place 2 Tablespoons of oil in iron skillet and heat until almost frying hot.
- Mix corn meal, egg, and enough buttermilk until mixture is creamy,
- When oil is hot pour oil into meal mixture and return to skillet.
- Bake in hot oven until golden brown.
- Cook time will vary with ovens.

Delish! and I might add the black iron skillet is a MUST. I have dragged mine all over these United States and in Utah I went to the grocery manager and had them order me some white cornmeal.
You have a high 5 from me!Thanks

Thank you so much for the heads-up on what brand of flour to look for... I live in the northwest, so it could be a challenge! Also, I love tried and true recipes -- thank you for sharing with us your family heirloom.
Take care,
