Directions:
Preheat oven to 450º. Grease an 8 inch iron skillet with Crisco. Set aside. Mix together the first 4 ingredients until their are no lumps. Pour into the prepared skillet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top of the bread is golden brown. Immediately flip cornbread onto a cooling rack. You can also flip the bread onto a plate but will need to place a case knife unto the bread to prevent condensation underneath.

You can also use a 6 inch skillet if you prefer a thicker pan of cornbread.

Personal Notes:
My Mom's cornbread was the best. This is a fact. There is no telling how many pans she made in her lifetime. It was always perfect. Crispy crust and a soft, fluffy inside. I tried for years to get my cornbread to be half as good as Mom's. She told me how to make it but it never came out right. I finally got her to show me every detail of how she made it and I finally got pretty close. I think about my Mama every time I make cornbread. I have her wooden spoon that she used when she made hers. Somehow, I think it makes my bread turn out a little better. When I smell the bread cooking, it takes me back to her kitchen and reminds me of the countless, delicious meals she cooked for out family.
