SOUTHERN CORNBREAD BY RENAE

This cornbread is super easy to make and is fantastic. The aroma of butter, while it's in the oven, is mouthwatering. It bakes up to a perfect golden brown. And, it's crispy on the crust but nice and tender on the inside. This cornbread has a ton of buttery flavor and slides right out of cast iron pan. Delicious!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c self-rising cornmeal
1/3 c plain flour
2 large eggs
1-1/2 c buttermilk
1/2 c melted margarine (not butter)
1 8-inch cast iron skillet
butter flavored spray coating for pan

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the dry ingredients together with a whisk. In the mean time melt the margarine in a microwave but save til the end. Also heavily coat the cast iron skillet with the butter flavored spray and place in a cold oven. Set the oven for 400 degrees and start it heating.
  • 2. Add eggs to the dry mixture and stir in buttermilk. Make sure the consistency is just a little thinner than pudding. May want less or more buttermilk than called for so stir in half or more of the buttermilk and work from there.
  • 3. Once the batter is the right consistency, mix in the melted margarine continuing to use the whisk. Make sure well incorporated.
  • 4. Remove the now hot skillet from the oven that should be at 400 degrees by now and pour the batter into the pan. Should hear a little sizzle. Place in oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. Turn out onto a plate, slice and enjoy.
  • 5. Note: The reason I use margarine instead of butter is because of the oil content. Margarine is just essentially butter flavored oil.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal gives cornbread a sweeter, more flavorful taste. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but make sure it's finely ground.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and give it a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool before serving: Cornbread is best served warm, but it needs to cool slightly before you cut it. This will help prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. Whether you're serving it with chili, soup, or fried chicken, cornbread is sure to be a hit. With these tips, you can make the best cornbread you've ever tasted. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give cornbread a try. You won't be disappointed.
