Mom’s Best Cornbread

Today I am posting my mom’s recipe for cornbread, and I’m calling it “Mom’s Best Cornbread” because well, simply put, I think it’s the best!

Mom’s Best Cornbread 

2 cups cornmeal
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups buttermilk
2 Tbsp oil (1/4 cup)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.  Let well-greased iron skillet heat in oven while preparing batter.  Combine cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.  Add eggs, buttermilk, and oil.  Stir until moistened.  Pour into hot skillet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until brown on top.

I fixed this tonight with some pinto beans and macaroni and cheese.  The perfect meal for a rainy day!

Until next time,
Muncho Mom
