I grew up on cornbread and I continue to make it at least once or twice a week. You can always buy a cornbread mix, but I enjoy making it from scratch.

This is my traditional “just cornbread” recipe that I think is better than anything you can buy in a package and just as simple. I like local stone ground cornmeal and use Geechie Boy Mill Cornmeal out of Charleston, but any plain cornmeal will work.

Ingredients:
1 ½ cups Plain Yellow Cornmeal.
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
¼ cup unsalted butter for mix
¼ cup unsalted butter for pan

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put all the unsalted butter in an iron skillet and place in the oven to melt butter and to heat skillet.

In a mixing bowl combine all the dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk, egg, and 1/2 of the melted butter. Mix by hand until just combined. You don't want to over mix it.

Pour all into heated skillet and cook for 25 minutes or until nicely browned on top.
