Ingredients
- ½ stick butter to melt in skillet
- 2 cups self-rising cornmeal mix. I use White Lily ad
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg beaten
- ¼ cup melted butter for batter
- This recipe works in a small skillet or 9" pie plate. Double the ingredients if you are using a large 12" cast iron skillet.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Place ½ stick butter in a cast iron skillet or baking dish. Melt in hot oven for 3 minutes.
- Take skillet out of oven and swirl the butter around to coat the pan.
- Add flour, buttermilk, egg and additional melted butter in a large bowl. Mix well. It's okay for batter to have a few lumps.
- Pour batter into preheated buttered skillet and bake at 425 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- This cornbread is perfect for making Thanksgiving Dressing or Southern Cornbread Biscuit Dressing recipes.
- Milk may be substituted for buttermilk and vegetable oil can be substituted for butter if desired.
