Servings: 12 slices
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ C purpose flour
  • tsp yellow corn meal
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ C salt
  • 8 tbsp melted butter 1 stick
  • ½ C sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 C buttermilk

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine flour, corn meal, baking soda, and salt.
  • Whisk together to mix thoroughly.
  • In another bowl mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, and buttermilk.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet using a spatula.
  • Mix only until the flour disappears. The mixture should still be lumpy.
  • Pour mixture into heated oiled cornbread pan, filling half of each space.
  • Bake in brick oven at 350° for about 25 minutes.
  • Cornbread is done when the edges are golden-brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Take pan out and let cool.
  • Enjoy plain or with some butter, jam, honey, or chili!

Notes

  • I used two 9 inch cast iron cornbread pans with the wedge shapes molded into the pans. You can also use two regular 8 or 9 inch cast iron pans.
  • 1 C of whole milk mixed with 1 tsp of lemon juice is a good substitute for buttermilk.
  • I love this recipe, because of the moistness and hint of sweetness!
