Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Place oil in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or similar-size glass baking dish and transfer to the preheating oven.

2. Mix cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add egg and milk (or

buttermilk); stir until just combined. Remove the pan from the oven and swirl the oil to coat the bottom and a little way up the sides. Very carefully pour the excess hot oil into the cornmeal mixture; stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the hot pan.

3. Bake until the bread is firm in the middle and lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

The only difference was that when using "sweet milk" (Whole milk to you non southerners) we added a half tsp of salt to the mix. This also works well if you just pour the batter righton to the fat. It gets absorbed abd gives you a better bottom crust. Make up a batch and ENJOY!
