Southern Style Cornbread

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Drizzle the oil into a seasoned 10-inch cast iron skillet and place in the oven until skillet is hot.

2. 2

   Combine the dry ingredients and stir, then whisk in the wet ingredients. (If you are using self-rising cornmeal, use a couple of cups of cornmeal and omit the flour, salt, and baking powder.)

3. 3

   Pour the batter into the hot skillet and bake until the cornbread is golden brown on top and a knife emerges clean from the center, about 25 to 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Cut into wedges and serve with butter. Leftovers freeze well; wrap wedges individually in waxed paper and store in a freezer bag.
