Southern Buttermilk Cornbread

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400°.
2. 2
   In a mixing bowl, combine eggs and buttermilk, mixing with a wire whisk.
3. 3
   Add cornmeal mix until the consistency is like pancake batter (approx. 1 3/4 cups).
4. 4
   Mix in the flour.
5. 5
   In the bottom of an 8x8-inch pan, casserole dish or muffin pan, pour enough oil to slightly coat the bottom. If you use a muffin pan, use about a teaspoons per cup.
6. 6
   Put the oiled dish/pan into hot oven and let the oil get VERY hot, but NOT scorched. (You can test by placing a drop of batter into the dish. If the batter sizzles, it's ready!).
7. 7
   Pour batter into the hot dish or fill muffin cups 2/3 full, and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. 8
   Butter 'em up, and enjoy, ya'll!
