Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 egg large
- 1/4 cup bacon grease
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven while it preheats.
- In a large bowl, mix self-rising cornmeal, buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the bacon drippings, swirling to coat the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Pour the excess drippings into the batter and stir quickly to incorporate.
- Pour the batter into the hot skillet. It should sizzle as it hits the pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the skillet for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter cornbread, add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the dry ingredients.
- You can substitute the bacon grease with vegetable oil for a different flavor.
- Store any leftover cornbread in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
