The Recipe!
You'll need:
•1 cup self rising cornmeal
•1/2 cup self rising flour
•3/4 cups buttermilk
•2 eggs, lightly beaten
•1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons bacon grease or vegetable oil
1.Preheat oven to 350F. (Or to 425F for a darker cornbread).
2.Put 2 tablespoons of oil or grease in a cast iron skillet and place in the oven to preheat with the oven temperature. If you just have a casserole dish and no iron skillet, skip this part, and just lightly grease the dish.
3.Combine cornmeal, flour, buttermilk and eggs in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine, add bacon grease or vegetable oil, and pour into the hot cast iron skillet.
4.Bake for about 20 minutes at 350F, or until golden brown. Alternately, if you wish the darker cornbread, bake for about 15 minutes at 425F.
5.Invert the cornbread pan over a platter, to allow the crispy underside to be on top. All done!
This is fabulous hot out of the oven with just butter. This is wonderful with fried chicken, by the way, or warmed for breakfast with a little syrup. Or cold for that matter!
