Momma’s Cornbread
My mother-in-law was a dear friend of mine while she was alive. She had so many wonderful attributes, but cooking really was not one of them!
My husband loves to tell the story of tuna fish for Thanksgiving, and the time she boiled pork chops for dinner! But she had a few recipes that totally rocked! One of those was her cornbread! Now this is a Southern cornbread recipe, so don’t expect any sugary sweet, cake-like, Jiffy mix! This is delicious and salty, and only gets better with a great, big slatherin’ of butter on it! Try it with beef stew for a knock out dinner.
Ingredients:
2 c yellow corn meal
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 3/4 c buttermilk
2 eggs
1/4 c oil, plus an extra 3 T for greasing the pan
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place about 3 T of oil in a cast iron skillet (a 9 in round cake pan will work too). *Bacon grease is an awesome substitute for the oil here! Place in the preheating oven until your batter is ready. Sift corn meal, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add buttermilk and eggs to the cornmeal mixture. Add oil and beat again. Pour into the heated skillet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
