Louise frazier's southern corn bread
8 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1½ | cup | Cornmeal -- stone ground |
| 3 | tablespoons | Flour |
| 2 | tablespoons | Sugar |
| 3 | teaspoons | Baking powder |
| ½ | teaspoon | Salt |
| ½ | teaspoon | Baking soda |
| 1 | cup | Buttermilk |
| 2 | Eggs -- well beaten | |
| 4 | tablespoons | Dripping |
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Combine the dry ingredients and stir in the wet. Pour the mixture into a lightly buttered 8" square pan and bake for 40 minutes, checking after 30. This is a dense, chewy cornbread and serves 6 to 8. Again, substitutions can be made: skim buttermilk, Egg Beaters, and butter substitutes for the dripping and to grease the pan. Do try to find stone ground cornmeal, though. It gives the cornbread a wonderful flavor and texture. The batter may also be fried in a large pan on to p of the stove, flipping it over so both sides are crunchy.
