This was my grandfather's recipe. I am fortunate to have it in his own handwriting! Cornbread was a staple in his house--when he was growing up and when I was growing up. It is super yummy when it's warm and slathered in butter, but our favorite way to eat cornbread was in a glass of cold milk, or "sweet milk" as he called it. For a gluten-free batch, I used millet flour. The texture was super!

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 - eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 cups cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

How To Make cornbread

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 425. Grease a large cast iron skillet. You can also use a baking pan. Choose your size based on how thick you like your cornbread. I doubled the recipe and used a 13x9 for a large amount of thick cornbread.
  • Step 2
    In a mixing bowl, combine oil, eggs, and buttermilk. Stir only enough to blend the eggs.
  • Step 3
    Add remaining ingredients. Stir only enough to moisten the dry ingredients.
  • Step 4
    Pour mixture into prepared baking pan.
  • Step 5
    Bake at 425 for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
