Cornbread recipe

Cornbread is quick bread made with cornmeal or maize, typically used in Mexican or other New World recipes. Cornbread is traditionally baked in a cast iron skillet. The process of making it is quite simple and baking time does not take more than 20 minutes.
Preparation time: 5 minutes, Cooking time: 20 minutes, Serves: 4 - 6 

Ingredients

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

2 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup sifted all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 egg lightly beaten
2 cups buttermilk

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Put the vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet and place it in the oven for a few minutes until it’s sizzling.

In a bowl mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl whisk the egg and buttermilk. Pour the egg and buttermilk in the flour mixture and mix until you get a smooth mixture.

Take the skillet out of the oven, pour the hot oil into the batter, and mix.
Pour the batter onto the cast iron skillet, place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.

The cornbread should be brown on top and pulling away from the sides of the skillet.
