Southern Corn Bread Recipe

Country Style

Serves 6 to 8

 This recipe has won it's share of ribbons over the years at the local county fairs and farm shows. This recipe can also be used for muffins, or even dropped out for a soft, cake-like cookie. I like to glaze them after they have cooled with a powdered sugar/milk glaze. This is always one of the recipes I use to make mini loaves to give away over the Holidays.   
bullet 2 cups of self-rising cornmeal** 
bullet 2 large eggs beaten 
bullet 2 cups buttermilk 
bullet 2 Tablespoons bacon drippings, melted butter, or vegetable oil

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Grease your 9-inch skillet with about 2 tablespoons of shortening or oil (Use bacon drippings instead if available). Leave oil in bottom of pan. Place pan in oven to heat.

2. Combine cornmeal, eggs, buttermilk, and the melted bacon drippings. Mix well. I find a whisk does this nicely. Pour into hot skillet. Batter will sizzle. 

3. Bake at 450 degrees for 35 minutes or until golden brown. 

Hint: Sprinkle a little cornmeal in the hot pan before adding the batter. It will brown and add a crispier texture.

**If using plain cornmeal, add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for each cup of regular meal
