Mamaw Thomas' Cornbread

You don't tug on Superman's cape. You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off the ole Lone Ranger. And you don't mess around with Mamaw Thomas' Cornbread. This one is straight from the source - no tweaking is done here because none is needed. And yes, I prefer cornbread plain. No jalapenos, no onions, no whole or creamed corn. No excuses.


1 1/2 c. Martha White’s self-rising corn meal
1 Tbs. oil (corn, canola, vegetable, etc)
2 eggs
1 1/4 c. buttermilk
1/2 tsp. baking powder (newer is better)

Preheat oven at 400 deg.
Beat eggs before adding them to the rest of the ingrediants in a medium sized bowl, mixing well. Grease and flour skillet and pour mixture into it.

Bake 20-30 min.
