Preparation

Step 1

BATTER:
1. Mix dry ingredients and store in a Ziploc Plastic Bag until ready to use.
2. Pour dry ingredients into a bowl.
3. Add in Egg, Milk and Butter (or Oil or Margarine) and mix.

CORN BREAD:
1. Place cast iron frying pan over medium to hot coals until heated.
2. Drop in about 2 Tablespoons of Cooking Oil to season the bottom of the pan.
3. When the oil starts to sizzle, pour in the batter - spreading it evenly over the bottom of the pan.

NOTE: There are two schools of thought on campfire cornbread - the flippers and the lidders. The method that I've used (and the method that we liked) is turning the cast iron frying pan into a little oven by keeping the lid on during cooking.
