Granny Sue's Crispy and Moist Cornbread: A Timeless Recipe Passed Down for Over 100 Years
📖 Ingredients:
1 cup of self-rising cornmeal (for my European followers that’s 1 cup of polenta or corn flour, not starch, 1/8 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tbsps baking powder and 1 tsp salt.)
1-1 1/2 cups of buttermilk (for my European followers that’s either Filmjolk onaka or natural keifer yogurts.)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
📖 Recipe:
Preheat your oven to 400F.
In a large bowl mix all ingredients together. It should look like wet oatmeal or grits. But not watery.
Grease a cast iron skillet with either crisco, vegetable oil or bacon grease.
Pour the cornbread mix into the pan and bake for 25-45 minutes. Depending on how deep your skillet is and how much you made.
Once done, allow to cool. Slice and serve with beans and fresh salted butter!
Delicious!
