This looks like the same recipe my Mom made and that I have made as well. I just cook for myself so I rarely make cornbread anymore, I make beans all the time cause the are economical. It's funny I just found my old iron skillet and guess what? Yep, I'm going to the grocery store on Wed and I'm getting the self rising corn meal and some oil and I'm making me some cornbread!! Thank you again for the recipe but boy I didn't know there could be such a fuss about it, haha....Karen Sims Serrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457620238533608980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001048742448308736.post-89093008811447657152014-12-28T21:19:45.822-06:002014-12-28T21:19:45.822-06:00Best as a snack in buttermilk!Best as a snack in buttermilk!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001048742448308736.post-76953211020304132552013-10-31T09:11:55.282-05:002013-10-31T09:11:55.282-05:00I just made a batch of this and as luck would have...I just made a batch of this and as luck would have it we had self-rising flour but regular cornmeal, so I added the Baking powder and soda and salt.

But I just use cornmeal (white), buttermilk or milk, a large egg or 2 small. Don't skimp on the oil and make sure the oil in the pan is hot so that it sizzles and covers the edges. I bake it in a hot 450-500 oven for about 15-20 minutes. This is exactly like my Mother made it. Makes for very crustly edges and bottom, which is the bast part to me. If I am using it to make dressing however, I don't make the crust crunchy.<br />Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576774973806710807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001048742448308736.post-64951630748493680392013-04-13T13:08:27.034-05:002013-04-13T13:08:27.034-05:00We did, but be careful; it's easy to get choke...We did, but be careful; it's easy to get choked on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001048742448308736.post-74958126105236174122013-04-13T10:37:59.907-05:002013-04-13T10:37:59.907-05:00Nothing like it.

This is like my recipe except, I put Crisco shorting in my cast iron skillet (with my hand) and cover it well, I do not preheat my pan. The shorting melts as it cooks and does not stick at all. I did not know it was possible to make cornbread without buttermilk.

I think from "the war" when flour was harder to get.<br />1 cup cornmeal<br />1 teaspoon baking powder<br />1/4 teaspoon baking soda<br />pinch of salt<br />1 large egg (or 2 smaller ones)<br />1 cup buttermilk<br /><br />Stir all together but do not overmix.<br />Preheat oven to 425, cover bottom of skillet with oil (shortening or bacon grease are all ok, also) heat skillet until the oil is smoking and then pour into skillet. It is not sweet or cake like but it is wonderful. We love it with beans.<br /><br />This also makes great muffins.Fadellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001048742448308736.post-73448753899360997292013-04-12T21:46:27.194-05:002013-04-12T21:46:27.194-05:00I have made Cornbread for 50 yrs. my guestiments w...I have made Cornbread for 50 yrs. my guestiments would be about equal to this recipe and Delicious every time.
