This is the recipe I use and LOVE.





Cornbread





1 cup yellow cornmeal


1 cup all-purpose flour


1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder


1/2 teaspoon baking soda


1/2 teaspoon salt


2 large eggs


1 1/4 cups buttermilk


1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled





Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 9-inch-square pan generously. In a bowl whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and the salt. In a small bowl whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and the butter, add the buttermilk mixture to the cornmeal mixture, and stir the batter until it is just combined. Heat the greased pan in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is very hot, add the batter, spreading evenly and bake the cornbread in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes, or until the top is pale golden and the sides begin to pull away from the edges of the pan. Let the cornbread cool for 5 minutes, turn it out onto a rack and let it cool completely. Cut the cornbread into 9 squares.

*PLAIN CORNBREAD

1 c. flour


1/4 c. sugar


2 eggs


1 tsp. salt


2 tsp. baking powder


1 c. milk





Mix all ingredients well and pour into baking pan about 10 x 14-inches which has 1/4 cup shortening that is melted on low fire. This makes a crust but leaves the bread light and fluffy. Bake at 450 degrees until brown.

I use Jiffy mix





2 boxes mix


1 small can of creamed corn


1/2 cup of sour cream


2 eggs


3/4 cup of milk





Put a cast iron skillet with 1/3 cup of butter into a cold oven. Pre heat to 375. Stir all ingredients together and pour into cast iron skillet when oven has heated. Bake for about 15-20 minutes
I'm at work and don't have access to the recipe, but I use Brinser's corn meal and use the recipe on the bag. I add slightly more sugar than it calls for because my wife likes it a bit sweeter. It makes AWESOME cornbread! Much better than the Jiffy stuff.
just buy some cornmeal


and get the ingredients on the box


its prety good! dont get the betty crocker mix. it tastes super eggy.


just start from scratch with the natural ingredient.





btw i heard cornmeal makes your butt bigger?
I use the box mix but add a half a box of yellow cake mix to it. That is the way that I have always done it.
