• Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet and cook on high heat until bubbles start to form in the center. Remove from stove.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• In a mixing bowl, combine eggs and buttermilk, mixing with a wire whisk.
• Add cornmeal mix until the consistency is like pancake batter (approx. 1 3/4 cups).
• Mix in the flour.
• In the bottom of an 8x8-inch pan, casserole dish or muffin pan, pour enough oil to slightly coat the bottom. If you use a muffin pan, use about a teaspoons per cup.
• Put the oiled dish/pan into hot oven and let the oil get VERY hot, but NOT scorched. (You can test by placing a drop of batter into the dish. If the batter sizzles, it's ready!).
• Pour batter into the hot dish or fill muffin cups 2/3 full, and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Butter 'em up, and enjoy, ya'll!

SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F. Use butter, margarine, oil, or shortening to grease an iron skillet. Sprinkle some corn meal in the bottom to keep cornbread from sticking. Put empty, seasoned pan in oven while preheating. This will get the pan hot and ready to receive your batter for perfect browning. mix together corn meal and self-rising flour. Add milk or buttermilk, eggs (beaten or unbeaten), and oil. Mix well. Using pot holders, slide iron skillet out just enough to turn batter into it, or pour into a well greased 13×9×1 inch pan and bake for 35 min. Pan must be shallow for good browning, or turn into well greased pan 9×9×2 and bake 45 minutes. Sometimes I prefer to just put the cornbread batter in the hot pan and turn down the oven to 350 while I cook other foods. When you get used to a golden brown and sometimes cracked top, you'll know when it's done just right.
