The BEST Cornbread

By Renna

Even your kids will eat this! I highly recommend White Lily flour and cornmeal for any and all cooking.

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups white cornmeal (White Lilly is the best)
• 3 T all-purpose flour
• 1 t salt
• 1 t baking soda
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 2 T of bacon dripping’s or melted real butter
• 1 T solid vegetable shortening

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 450.
2. Add a tablespoon of shortening and preheat in oven in 10" cast iron skillet (cake pan if you have no skillet)
3. Sift together dry ingredients; add buttermilk, egg, and drippings, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened.
4. Pour into the greased, hot skillet. Bake in preheated hot oven at 450 for 20-25 minutes.
5. Serve warm with butter.
