Buttermilk Corn Bread Recipe

By dette

MY GRANDMOTHER would refer to this recipe as "comfort food", made from ingredients available on the farm or staples found in her pantry. She always cooked the corn bread in her "seasoned" black skillet, and it turned out slick as butter every time. -Elizabeth Cooper, Madison, Alabama

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Beat egg and buttermilk; add to dry ingredients just until moistened.
