In our house, it is an event. When this puppy comes out of the oven, all golden and crispy on the outside … waiting, ASKING for the butter to go on it. 


If you’re making black-eyed peas, you get a LIFE chip (ever play LIFE with your kids? where you get LIFE chips for “inventing a new color”, “winning a Nobel Prize”, or just “running a marathon”?). Well, here, if you serve your family this buttermilk cornbread with hop ‘n John black-eyed peas, you definitely get a LIFE chip. 


The basics
Nothing to it. Just toss everything into a bowl, stir it around, throw it in your iron skillet, then into the oven, and wait until the smell emanating from your oven is, “from God”. 


You can play with this recipe, though. The total corn meal/flour amount is 2 cups. But the particular ratio is up to you. I like having 3/4 cup of corn meal to 1/4 cup flour. If you like it softer, trade off for a bit more flour. If you like it cornier, trade off for a bit more corn meal.  

Buttermilk Corn Bread

You’ll Need

  • 1 1/2 cups corn meal
  • 1/2 cup AP Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/3 cups buttermilk
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions
Preheat the oven to 450.

Stir together the dry ingredients and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and oil. Then add the dry mixture with the buttermilk mixture. Stir it together until moistened.


Swirl about 1 Tbsp of the oil into your iron skillet (the exact amount is not important), and set the flame to medium-high. Once it’s good and hot, pour the corn bread mixture into the iron skillet. It will quickly bubble on the sides (not more than 2 minutes, honestly) and then you just toss the skillet into the oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Check the cornbread. If the cornbread is begin to pull away from sides of pan … when it’s golden on top … when it smells wonderful … it is done.
