CURLEY'S OLD FASHIONED CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and sugar.
• (If baking powder or soda appear at all lumpy, sift them in).
• Stir well to combine.
• In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and oil.
• Place the butter in a 9 or 10 inch skillet and place in the oven and heat until the butter melts and is sizzling seriously.
• Tilt the pan to coat the sides of the skillet.
• As the butter's melting, quickly pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and, using a wooden spoon, stir the wet and dry together with as few strokes as possible--- only as many as are needed to combine the two.
• Don't beat it!
• Scrape the batter into the hot, buttery skillet.
• It should sizzle.
• Place it in the oven immediately.
• Bake until golden brown on top, about 25 to 30 minutes.
