Delicious, traditional and simple Cornbread. This is a lot better when baked in a well seasoned cast iron skillet to achieve those perfect crusty edges that we all love.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of butter shopping list
- 1 cup of white or yellow cornmeal (I use fresh ground) shopping list
- 1 cup of all purpose flour or Bisquick or fresh ground whole wheat flour shopping list
- 1/4 cup of granulated white sugar shopping list
- 4 tsp of baking powder shopping list
- 1/2 tsp of salt shopping list
- 1 cup of milk or buttermilk shopping list
- 1 egg shopping list
- 1/4 cup of vegetable or olive oil shopping list
How to make it
- (Preheat oven to 425F.)
- Place the butter into a 10-inch heavy bottom ovenproof frying pan or cast iron skillet and heat in the oven until butter is melted.
- NOTE- Heating the butter in the skillet until it's hot and melted before adding the batter, guarantees a desirable CRISPNESS on the outer edges of the bread.
- While the pan is heating and the butter is melting, prepare your cornbread batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, buttermilk and egg until well blended- wire whisk if possible.
- Pour batter into the HOT and buttery skillet (batter will sizzle), return to the oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until bread is golden brown and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center will come out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for approximately 5 minutes.
- Invert cornbread onto a large plate and cut into wedges.
- Makes 6 - 8 cornbread wedges.
