Basic Southern Cornbread
Ingredients:
4 tbsp shortening
2 cups of self-rising cornmeal
1 egg
1/2 tsp baking soda
1-3/4 cups buttermilk
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place 4 tablespoons of shortening in a cast iron skillet, and place the skillet in the oven to heat. In a large bowl, beat 1 egg with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Add 1-3/4 cups of buttermilk. Stir in 2 cups of self-rising cornmeal mix. Stir in about 2 tablespoons of the hot, melted shortening. The batter should be creamy and pourable. If too thick, more buttermilk or a little water may be added. Pour batter into the hot skillet. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Tips:
If you can't find self-rising cornmeal mix, use regular cornmeal with 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup. For a lighter cornbread, replace 1/2 cup of the meal with 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour. Add a teaspoon or two of bacon grease to the shortening for flavor. |
