Basic Buttermilk Corn Bread Recipe

Basic Buttermilk Corn Bread Recipe

  • 2 cups cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Whisk together the cornmeal, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and egg in a bowl to form a batter.
  2. Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, and swirl the melted butter all over the bottom and up the sides of the skillet. Let the butter heat until it gives off a faint toasted fragrance; pour the batter into the hot skillet.
  3. Place the skillet into the preheated oven, and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
