Texas corn bread
6 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | cup | Yellow corn meal |
| ½ | cup | Flour |
| 1 | cup | Buttermilk |
| ½ | cup | Sweet milk |
| 1 | Egg, beaten | |
| ¼ | cup | Melted butter |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| ½ | teaspoon | Soda |
| 1 | tablespoon | Baking powder |
Directions
Mix corn meal, flour and salt. Add all the other ingredients and let stand at least 5 minutes without mixing. Grease the skillet well and heat it. Now stir in mixture and pour it into the skillet. Cover the skillet and bake it on the coals, checking every few minutes to see that the heat is right. It is cooked when the top crust is a golden brown color. You will find that the bottom is somewhat moist at this time. That is fine, for it should be.
