all right guys today we’re doing a cornbread recipe it’s my favorite way to cook cornbread is in the cast iron so what I have here is a 10 inch cast iron pan and to this we are adding bacon grease about a tablespoon worth because it is already seasoned we need the tablespoon of that and then this is gonna go into our oven while the oven is preheating this is a crucial step it makes crispy outer crust that it’s just a lady of corn so let’s get a bowl to do the rest of me yes okay so I usually make my cornbread two ways I either make it sweet like jiffy or it is jiffy or I make it this way and I actually have really grown to like it this way better and it has no sugar super simple ingredients you want two cups of cornmeal it’s one and two you want a teaspoon teaspoon of baking soda and then we’re going to stir this together I also have six tablespoons of butter that I just melted down and I’m going to let that cool for a second before I mix that in now one egg and that that it was kind of small what a large egg hopefully that’s gonna be in there just kind of whisk it a tad just by itself and then you want now this is full fat buttermilk it is phenomenal I didn’t even know you could buy full fat buttermilk but you can and I got it [Music] buttermilk makes all the difference whenever you’re doing cornbread you don’t want to work it too much because you don’t like tough cornbread just make sure everything is well incorporated all right and now we’re going to whisk as we’re pouring in our systems of fire [Music] again just until you feel that it’s incorporated perfect now the best part is putting it in a hot skillet so that skillet is out of the baking grease in it and it’s been in our oven preheating this whole time that out and that sizzle is what you want here [Music] all right and I just kind of carefully even it out as much as I can and now this is gonna go into our 400 degree oven for 20 minutes doing six minutes later and there you’ve got earned out 26 oh my goodness 20 minutes later it was 12 26 when this is done that’s where that came from but just came out it’s golden brown and you can see it started to pull away from the edges that’s how you know it’s done this makes me want to make a big pot of beans or beef stew either one would be fine with me oh let’s see if I can do this look at that is that not the most beautiful piece Corvette’s very calm and look at that absolutely nothing to clean up on my cast iron so I hope you guys enjoyed this quick little video try it out for yourself it is so easy and so rewarding to make stuff homemade without preservatives to where you know exactly what’s in your ingredients until next time guys thanks for watching

  1. I made some last night in my skillet. No sugar ever in cornbread. I use 3 teaspoons of baking powder and 2 eggs with regular milk. My batter is more loose. Sometimes I add chopped jalapeno . Had homemade vegetable soup with it.

  2. Lovely looking cornbread. I love warm cornbread with milk. Yours looks delicious. Thank-you for sharing your recipe with us today. Have a great afternoon.

  3. How does using buttermilk compare to just milk.
    I can seem to find buttermilk where I live.
    Ive tried putting vinegar or lemon juice in the milk to sour it bit but it just curddles a bit. Any suggestions. Thanks

  4. maybe next time have your ingredients all laid out – the clanging and banging are distracting!

  5. I leave the butter out and use 1 egg per cup of cornmeal. I dust the bottom and sides of the preheated pan with corn meal then pour the batter in for a crisper top and cook at 450F for 15-20 minutes. Flip the bread over using a plate, slice then add butter.

  6. Thank you for this recipe , i made it yesterday and i turned out great . I didn't have any buttermilk so i used yoghurt with some lemon soured milk . Next time i'll use unsalted butter as it seemed a bit too salty for my taste . Thanks again for a good simple recipe , cheers.

  7. I have made cornbread like this, also. My recipe called for baking powder in addition to the baking soda. Otherwise everything else is the same. I just naturally don't like sweets, and this is the best cornbread I know of.

  8. My parents both passed away in 2017. I never found my Mom’s awesome cornbread recipe… been searching. Maybe this is it!!! Mom’s WASN’T sweet either!! Thank u

  9. Thank you!
    I had fresh raw milk, boiled and added a full tbls. lemon juice to get buttermilk. My corn flour is white, but the egg and yellow butter (homemade—may be ghee) gave the batter color. I didn’t have fat so used butter to coat pan, which isn’t cast iron, but it will have to do. Thanks again!

  10. This sounds like the one my mother in law used to make. No one had her recipe. I’m trying this as soon as possible. Thanks.

  11. 2 cups self rising cornmeal, 1 Tbl spoon of mayo 2 yard eggs 1 cup of 2% milk grease cast iron skillet with crisco. 475 for 20 minutes best southern cornbread on earth!

  12. Hi, just made your cornbread (4/16/23) and it turned out great. As I remember cornbread from my early years in NC. I think that batter would make great deep fried hushpuppies … next batch! TY again!

  13. I grew up in the hills of NC. My mom’s cornbread was delicious. She only used white cornmeal, never sugar (only the Yankees did that) and always buttermilk. We ate it almost everyday. Sometimes after dinner we would put the cornbread in a glass with buttermilk for “desert”. When you mentioned “pot of beans” that was one of my favorite meals, cornbread, pinto beans, fried potatoes and sliced tomatoes from my moms garden !! Thanks for sharing your recipe!!
