Well I don't measure and either does my Maw Maw so I translated this as best as I could remember. This is her recipe which she got from her grandmother. So it's been in our family since at least the early 1900's.

Ingredients
- 3 tbsp baking drippings or shortening
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 tbsp cornmeal
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Put the grease or shortening in a well seasoned 9" cast iron skillet and put it in the oven till sizzling.
- Combine the dry ingredients. Add beaten eggs one at a time to the dry ingredients. Slowly pour your buttermilk into the mixture. It should have a pancake batter like consistency. Not to thin, but not to thick either.
- Take the hot skillet and sprinkle about 1 tbsp of cornmeal on the bottom. I don't know why my Maw Maw does this so I do it too.
- Pour the batter into the hot skillet.
- Put back in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until nice and brown on top. I usually check with a knife to make sure it is done all the way through.

Good recipe. I make cornbread very often, and I always sprinkle the cornmeal in the hot greased skillet. It gives the bottom a very crisp crust. Wonderful!!
