Southern Cornbread

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425-450 F.
• Heavily coat with 1/4 cup of Crisco shortening a cold 9-inch cast iron skillet – coat heavily because the batter kind of fries in the shortening
• Add dry ingredients together into a large bowl.
• Mix the eggs and butter milk in a separate bowl
• Add the eggs and the butter milk to the dry ingredients.
• Pour the batter into the pre-greased 9-inch skillet.
• Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is lightly browned around the edges or until a fork stuck into the center of the pan comes out clean. Serve hot.
