Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1cup self-rising corn meal
  • 1/2 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup whole milk.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Grease a medium sized cast iron skillet liberally with Crisco or cooking oil.
  3. Mix dry ingredients and sprinkle pan with this mix, covering bottom and sides.
  4. Add the liquids, mixing only until just blended.
  5. Pour into cast iron skillet and bake until brown and pulling away from sides of pan. Humidity affects the wetness, so the batter should be thick cake-like batter with lumps.
  6. Tear the bread and serve it with real butter and honey.
