This is the only way my family has ever fixed cornbread. My grandma showed me how when I was real young. The secret is the Southern Corn Meal. I know you can not get it in the North or California because I have to mail it to family there.
Ingredients:
3 cups self-rising corn meal.. not yellow. i prefer sunflower.
1 egg
buttermilk
oil
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450. While oven is heating place 2 Tablespoons of oil in iron skillet and heat until almost frying hot.
2. Mix corn meal, egg, and enough buttermilk until mixture is creamy,
3. When oil is hot pour oil into meal mixture and return to skillet.
4. Bake in hot oven until golden brown.
5. Cook time will vary with ovens.
