Southern Cornbread Recipe In A Cast Iron Skillet

No sugar!! Both sides of my family are from the south going back over 500 years. No one puts sugar in their cornbread .

Not southern cornbread if it has sugar and flour!!!

2 cups self rising cornmeal mix not just plain cornmeal 2 eggs or 1 extra large egg 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or an equivalent amount of refined coconut oil, bacon grease or lard 1/4 cup vegetable oil for the skillet if using cast iron; an equivalent amount of refined coconut oil, bacon grease or lard will substitute 1 3/4 cups buttermilk or regular milk Start with 1 cup of liquid if you are using regular milk and add the rest as necessary INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. If you are using cast iron, place the 1/4 cup oil in the bottom of a 9″ skillet and place over high heat on your stovetop while you make the batter. Pour the cornmeal into a bowl and add the oil, egg, and buttermilk. Mix until combined and drop a small amount into your skillet. If it sizzles immediately, go ahead and pour in your batter to within 1 inch of the top. If you want a thinner cornbread, just don’t pour in as much. Transfer the skillet from the stove top to the hot oven. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden and set.

People I am seventy years old a only started cooking three years ago when my wife couldn’t cook anymore I started out with jiffy mix but I tried this recipe but it was like a 2/3 cup of sugar and I had lived in Oklahoma for all 67 years because I was born in Texas and I don’t care what some people say about cornbread with sugar in it because this cornbread is the best cornbread I have ever ate including my moms I do believe it’s so moist and it doesn’t crumble in your hands and I don’t choke on it !! Absolutely love this cornbread so all you people who claim to be southerners I will take my version any day

I make mine that way all time nothing better than cast iron
