Author Rachel Ballard

Ingredients


2 cups self rising cornmeal mix not just plain cornmeal
2 eggs or 1 extra large egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or an equivalent amount of refined coconut oil, bacon grease or lard
1/4 cup vegetable oil for the skillet if using cast iron; an equivalent amount of refined coconut oil, bacon grease or lard will substitute
1 3/4 cups buttermilk or regular milk Start with 1 cup of liquid if you are using regular milk and add the rest as necessary

Instructions


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
If you are using cast iron, place the 1/4 cup oil in the bottom of a 9″ skillet and place over high heat on your stovetop while you make the batter.
Pour the cornmeal into a bowl and add the oil, egg, and buttermilk.
Mix until combined and drop a small amount into your skillet.
If it sizzles immediately, go ahead and pour in your batter to within 1 inch of the top. If you want a thinner cornbread, just don’t pour in as much.
Transfer the skillet from the stove top to the hot oven.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden and set.

Notes
If you are not using cast iron, grease your pan with nonstick cooking spray and do not preheat the pan. Bake as directed.
Nutrition information based on the use of refined coconut oil in place of the vegetable oil.

Does that sound right to you? Have you tried it?

Guilty confession time, I like the generic sweet cornbreead.

I'll throw it in a bowl with milk and eat it like cereal
