Southern Cornbread
Ingredients
Traditional southern cornbread is often, like this recipe, unsweetened. The key to perfect cornbread is using just enough butter in a hot skillet to crisp the edges. Eat this fresh and warm, or use it as the base for cornbread dressing.
3 c. stone-ground cornmeal
1 t. salt
6 t. baking powder
3/4 t. baking soda
2 1/2 c. skim milk
2 T. lemon juice
3 eggs
1/2 c. olive oil
1/4 c. unsalted butter, melted
