OLD-FASHIONED STYLE CORNBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or bacon grease to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Place the skillet in the oven for five to seven minutes to heat up.
• While the skillet is heating up, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Add the eggs, buttermilk, and two tablespoons of vegetable oil or melted bacon grease to a smaller bowl and whisk until well combined.
• Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
• Using a heavy-duty oven mitt or potholder, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Tilt the skillet to make sure the bottom and sides are covered with oil. Immediately pour the batter into the skillet. You should hear a nice sizzle, and you will see the batter already start to rise.
• Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread is a deep golden brown and has pulled away from the sides a little. To ensure it is done, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean. Serve immediately.

• I like to cool the cornbread completely prior to slicing and let it cool for at least 20 minutes.
• A traditional method for removing the cornbread is to flip the cast iron skillet over and slice from there.
