Ingredients

1/4 cup of butter

1 cup of white or yellow cornmeal (I use fresh ground)

1 cup of all purpose flour or Bisquick or fresh ground whole wheat flour

1/4 cup of granulated white sugar

4 tsp of baking powder

1/2 tsp of salt

1 cup of milk or buttermilk

1 egg

1/4 cup of vegetable or olive oil

Directions

(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.
