[Pat Griffin]

CORNBREAD

By Pat Griffin

 

2 cups yellow corn meal 

1 cup all purpose flour

3 Tbs. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1 large egg

One third cup vegetable oil 

Two thirds cup buttermilk

Water as needed

 

1.	Oil a 12" cast iron frying pan.
2.	Place pan in a 450 F oven for 10 min.
3.	Meanwhile, sift together dry ingredients.
4.	Mix together liquid ingredients, making sure egg is thoroughly
incorporated.
5.	Stir liquids into meal mixture, just to moisten.
6.	Add water if needed to make a thick batter.
7.	Pour into heated pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

 

(Notes)

I've always pre-heated my pan to get a browner, crispier crust.  

If you don't have buttermilk, add a bit of lemon juice to your milk, and let
it sit a few minutes to thicken.

You may also add any one or any combination of the following before baking:

a.	1 can cream style corn
b.	1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
c.	1 fourth cup sliced jalapenos
d.	1 fourth cup bacon bits or cracklin's
