Grandmother’s Buttermilk Cornbread

Grease 10-inch cast iron skillet with the oil. Place the empty skillet in a cool oven and set the oven to 400°.

While the oven is heating, in a medium bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Pour in buttermilk and eggs and gently stir by hand until thoroughly blended. Stir in melted butter.

Remove skillet from the oven, carefully, it is HOT! Pour batter into skillet. Batter will sizzle! Return skillet to the oven. Bake cornbread for 18-20 minutes or until it begins to brown slightly on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve cornbread warm.

Enjoy!!
