This is my mother's cornbread recipe. She uses a cast iron skillet which produces a beautiful crust. Ingredients:
3 cups cornmeal (as course a grind as possible) |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 tablespoon baking powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
2 eggs |
3 cups milk (she calls it sweet milk, meaning not buttermilk) |
2 teaspoons canola oil or 2 teaspoons bacon drippings |
Directions:
1. Heat 8 inch cast iron skillet in 400 degree oven with oil or drippings in it.
2. Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl.
3. When skillet is good and hot remove from oven and pour in cornbread.
4. It should sizzle good.
5. Cook at 400 for 45 minutes to an hour.
6. Turn out on rack to cool.
7. Bottom should have a lovely crust.
