Old Fashioned Cornbread
Old Fashioned Cornbread
1 3/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 cup buttermilk
1 egg
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 tbsp. butter
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine together the dry ingredients. In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and the egg; add in the dry ingredients and stir well until combined. Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet for 10 minutes. Pour the mixture into the skillet and bake for 15-20 minutes. Spread butter on top of cornbread. Enjoy!
*Johnna’s tip: Old fashioned cornbread beats the boxed stuff, especially if you have time to make it. For those of us who refuse to spend more than 10-20 minutes in the kitchen cooking anything, this is the recipe you pull out when you’re trying to impress someone with your soul food cooking skills. Make this a side for baked or fried chicken, string beans and mac ‘n cheese…soul food at its best!
