Can't be Summertime with out Cornbread! *wink* Be sure and get the cast iron good and hot, as that’s what sears the batter and makes for a crispy, crunchy crust.

  • ½ cup sifted flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons bacon drippings or vegetable oil

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Put the drippings or oil in a cast iron skillet and place it in the oven for a few minutes until it’s sizzling.
  3. Mix together dry ingredients. Set aside.
  4. Whisk egg and buttermilk. Mix with dry ingredients
  5. Take cast iron skillet out of oven, and pour hot oil into batter, and mix.
  6. Pour batter into cast iron skillet, bake in oven for 20 minutes. Cornbread should be brown on top and pulling away from the sides of the skillet.
  7. Do you cook with cast iron? What do you cook in it? *wink*

I like cornbread, and this one looks really good! I think the bacon drippings are a must. The only thing I use my cast iron skillet for is fried chicken. I was raised in the North East so cornbread was not a staple, but I do love it and being here close to the border, a jalapeno pepper would probably find its way into the batter...LOL!


Pink, now that's really is Cornbread the way it's suppose to be! :)


This is great
