Cornbread

This is one of the few recipes that my husband excitedly wants me to copy of his mom's.  A staple and a great version!

- 1 1/2 cups of corn meal

- 3 tbsp flour

- 1 tsp salt

- 1 tsp baking soda

- 2 cups buttermilk

- 1 egg

- 3 tbsp corn oil or bacon drippings

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Mix all ingredients.

Pour into hot skillet with about 1/4 cup corn oil (up to 1/2 cup) or bacon drippings.  Bake about 20 min or until brown, on middle shelf of oven.

(This recipe fits an 10-inch iron skillet.)
