Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together.
- Put the tbs of grease in cast iron skillet to make the cornbread crusty, then pour in all ingredients.
- (*Make sure the batter is not thin and runny, if so, add equal consistencies of flour and cornmeal to thicken*).
- I sometimes add a little bit of salt, and a tbs of sugar, but this is optional.
- Bake on 400-425 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a more pronounced corn flavor and a better texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use stone-ground cornmeal, which is also a good option.
- Use buttermilk. Buttermilk will give your cornbread a tangy flavor and a moist texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your 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 slicing it. This will help the cornbread hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it sweet or savory, plain or with added ingredients, there's a cornbread recipe out there for everyone.
