Cornbread Southern Style

1 cup finely ground cornmeal

 

1 cup plain flour

 

2 teaspoons baking powder

 

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

 

1 tablespoon sugar

 

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

2 eggs, beaten

 

2/3 cup buttermilk

 

2/3 cup whole milk

 

2 tablespoons +extra to grease pan unsalted butter

 

Preheat oven to 425*- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and done.

 

 

Grease a 9 inch square baking pan with melted butter. Place in the oven to heat.

 

Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl, mix well.

 

 Combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk well.

 

Make a well (hole) in the middle of the dry ingredients.

 

Pour the wet ingredients into the well and gently fold the dry ingredients in from the side. Do not overmix.

 

Spoon the batter into a hot pan greased well. I use a cast iron skillet, cast iron cornbread stick pan or muffin tins, delicious any shape you make em !!!ut use what you have :)

 

Turn onto a wire rack to cool slightly.

 

 Serve warm.
