SOUTHERN CORNBREAD RECIPE

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• If you are using cast iron, place the 1/4 cup oil in the bottom of a 9" skillet and place over high heat on your stovetop while you make the batter.
• Pour the cornmeal into a bowl and add the oil, egg, and buttermilk.
• Mix until combined and drop a small amount into your skillet.

• Transfer the skillet from the stove top to the hot oven.
• Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden and set.
