Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup sifted flour
  • 1 1/2 cups cornmeal, sifted before measuring
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, if desired
  • 2 eggs, well beaten
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°.

Sift the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir beaten eggs into the dry ingredients. Stir in the buttermilk and 1 cup whole milk.

Heat the butter in a 9 X 2-inch iron skillet. When skillet is very hot but butter has not browned, pour in the batter. Carefully pour the remaining 1 cup whole milk on top of the batter; do not stir. Place the skillet in the oven and bake 50 minutes, or until cornbread is set and baked through. Slice into wedges.

Best CornbreadJuly 27, 2007By MarjleeH
"Not sweet like some cornbreads, nice crumble texture, but not dry. I made this many times from Craig Claborne's cookbook, ""Southern Cooking"", his recipe does not have the baking powder, both recipes work well. This is our family standard."
