The Greatest Cornbread, Ever

8 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal (any kind -- finely ground, coarsely ground, blue, etc)
  • 1 heaping tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 scant teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup milk (any kind -- I always use soymilk)
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon bacon fat or canola oil

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place bacon fat in an 8- or 9-inch cast iron skillet and place in oven. (If using a Pyrex baking dish, just oil it and set aside).
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients -- flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
  3. 3
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, and eggs.
  4. 4
    Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix only until incorporated and smooth.
  5. 5
    Pour batter into skillet (careful, it's hot!) and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cut into wedges and serve!
