Best Cornbread recipe in the world is:
2 cups cornmeal
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs slightly beaten
Mix all together, and pour into a 9” hot iron skillet that you have put a tablespoon or two of oil in.
Bake at 450 degrees for about 25 minutes.
Thanks for the cornbread advice.
Unfortunately, I was raised eating the best cornbread on the planet, lovingly made by momma with meal my dad ground from his own secret strain of field corn.
Alas it is a lost pleasure. My sister comes close though.
To me the technique sounds very similar to Yorkshire Pudding with that you must put oil, meat fat or dripping in the pan first and heat before putting the batter in
