Edna Lewis Cornbread
6 portions
40mI've only really ever known sweet cornbread. This is not sweet cornbread. I like it a lot. I suppose you could add a little sugar to the batter, but I don't think it needs it.
What you will need
1 1/2 cups Cornmeal
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 3/4 cups Buttermilk

In a separate, smaller bowl, place the buttermilk.

Add the egg and whisk until well blended.

Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Melt the butter in a heavy, oven-safe skillet. Just place the butter in the skillet and pop it in the oven for 2-3 minutes as it heats up.

Pour the batter into the skillet.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top and peeling away from the skillet at the edges. A toothpick inserted at the center should withdraw clean, just like a cake or muffins.
