Want to know how to make your basic Southern Cornbread in your Cast Iron Skillet? It isn’t that hard all you need is your skillet, 6 Tablespoons of shortening, an egg, 2 cups of self-rising cornmeal mix, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1 3/4 cup of buttermilk.
Heat your oven to 450 degrees and follow this simple recipe:
Put 4 Tablespoons of shortening in your skillet and stick it in the oven
Then in a large bowl beat your egg with 1/2 tsp baking soda
Add the buttermilk
Stir in the cornmeal
then the last 2 Tablespoons of shortening-melted
The batter should be creamy and pourable-if not add a dash more buttermilk or little water.
Pour it into your hot skillet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Enjoy it will butter and my favorite-raspberry perserves.
