Cast Iron Cornbread

Ingredients

  • 1 c all purpose flour
  • 1 c yellow corn meal, finely ground
  • ⅓ c sugar
  • 1 t salt
  • 3 ½ t baking powder
  • ⅓ c melted butter
  • 1 c buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • bacon grease

Instructions

Heat cast iron pan in 400° oven for at least 20 minutes. I use a 12" pan for this recipe.

Mix ingredients.

Remove cast iron pan from oven and grease with bacon fat. Carefully pour cornbread mix into pan.

Return pan to oven and cook for 19 or so minutes, until cornbread is done.

Remove pan from oven and turn out cornbread. This should be easy if you greased the pan well enough.
