Cornbread This is probably my favorite cornbread recipe I've found. Sugar is completely optional--I don't want to cause a war over it, so govern yourself accordingly. Best cooked in a greased 9-inch cast iron skillet. Ingredients: 2 eggs 2 Tbsp vegetable oil (can substitute for butter or bacon grease if you want) 1 cup water 1/2 cup buttermilk 2 cups corn meal 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1 Tbsp sugar (if that's your thing) Directions: 1.) Preheat oven to 450 degrees F; place greased 9-inch cast iron skillet in oven to heat. 2.) Beat eggs in a mixing bowl, and add remaining ingredients in order listed; stir until well blended. 3.) Pour batter into hot pan; bake 20 to 25 minutes. You may want to rotate if your oven doesn't evenly heat. 4.) Check doneness by sticking a toothpick in the middle and is clean when removed.
