Three Ingredient Buttermilk Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• Melt shortening in a large (approximately 12 inches) iron skillet in a 350 degree oven until melted and very hot.
• While the shortening is heating you can begin to prepare the cornbread batter.
• In a large bowl combine the meal, egg and buttermilk and mix only to combine ingredients some lumps left is best.
• When the shortening is hot, roll it around in the pan to keep the cornbread from sticking and pour the remaining shortening (leave about a teaspoon in the pan) into your batter and mix together.
• Pour batter into pan and cook in oven for approximately 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat cast iron skillet or corn stick mold in a preheated 425 degree oven. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients with a wooden spoon, do not over-mix. Remove baking dish from oven and grease with vegetable spray or brush with melted butter. Add batter and bake for 10 to 15 minutes for sticks and 20 minutes for each loaf.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into a well-seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet (see Note) and place over medium-high heat. Put the cornmeal in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the cornmeal and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. With a fork, stir in enough of the buttermilk to make a batter that is thick but can be easily poured into the hot skillet. You may not need all 3 cups.
• Carefully pour the batter into the skillet. The oil will come up around the edges. Use the back of a spoon to smooth this over the top of the batter. Continue to heat on the stovetop for 1 minute, and then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the corn bread for 20 minutes, or until browned on top. Immediately turn the cornbread out onto a cooling rack to keep the crust crisp.
• Season a new cast-iron skillet by coating the inside with vegetable shortening (not butter) and heating the pan in a very hot oven (450°F) for 1 hour. Cool the skillet and wipe off any excess oil before using. To care for a seasoned skillet, wipe the interior after each use. Do not soak it in soapy water or put it in the dishwasher.
