I have been trying for 10 years to make cornbread like mama used to make. It was crunchy on the top and soft and moist on the inside. Tonight I finally succeeded!

How To Make southern style corn bread

    Stir the buttermilk, oil, and corn meal mix in a medium bowl until it is smooth. The batter should be creamy and pourable. If the batter is too thick add 1 or 2 more tablespoons buttermilk.
  • 3
    Remove the skillet from the oven and pour the batter into the hot skillet.
  • 4
    Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Invert the skillet onto a plate so that the cornbread is released from the skillet.
