Old Fashioned Southern Corn Bread Recipe - Chef Robert Wiley

Ingredients:
1 or 2 teaspoons lard or oil (butter is likely to burn too quickly for this recipe)
1¾ cup. fine stone ground corn meal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional), Most Southern Corn Breads Don’t Contain Sugar.
1½ cup. buttermilk
1 ea. Egg

Procedure:
Put lard into 9 inch cast iron skillet. Place in oven and preheat to 500 degrees.
Combine dry ingredients in bowl.
