Ingredients

    2 cups of self-rising cornmeal, 1/2 cup of self-rising flour, 2 cups of buttermilk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup of canola oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In mixing bowl add 2 cups of self-rising cornmeal, 1/2 cup of self-rising flour and 2 cups of buttermilk. Mix until moist. Add 2 large fresh eggs one at a time until blended. Add 1/4 cup of canola oil. In a black iron skillet, put 1 Tablespoonful of canola oil inside the skillet. Wipe with a paper towel around the inside of the skillet. Put 1/4 cup of self-rising cornmeal inside the skillet and cover the bottom and sides with the cornmeal. Empty excess cornmeal out. Pour cornmeal batter into the iron skillet and cook for 35 minutes at 400 degrees. Once the time is up, use a flat blade knife and go around the edges of the skillet then dump the cornbread out onto a trivit to cool. Cover immediately with a kitchen towel to keep from drying out. Once moderately cooled down, flip over onto a plate and cut into 8 servings. Can butter individually if desired.

    After putting the canola oil in the skillet, heat the skileet for a few minutes in the oven before putting the batter in. This gives the outside a very crunchy texture. - 9/7/09

    I like this because it does not have sugar in it. I have never put cornmeal in first, it makes a crunchy texture and is very good. - 2/2/09

    i live in Canada, and haven't heard of self rising cornmeal, i will check the Mexican Isle the next time i go to the grocery store, but can i use regular cornmeal, i have a fine grind as well as as rough grind cornmeal, which is better? - 7/16/15

    I'm not sure how you got the serving information, I just did the same ingredients and got 26 carbs and over 200 calories. I'm sure it's a fantastic recipe, just wish that were accurate. - 12/17/14
