1 cup white cornmeal

1/4 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon salad oil

1 tablespoon sugar

1 egg

1 cup buttermilk

Mix all dry ingredients, and put GREASED (use Crisco or something similar) 10 inch cast

iron skillet into 425F oven. Let skillet get hot enough that it starts to smoke a little, and take

out of oven. Take a small hand full of cornmeal, and slightly coat bottom of hot skillet as

soon as it comes out of oven. Mix oil, buttermilk, and egg into dry ingredients--shouldn't

take over 15-20 seconds, and poor into HOT skillet. Let mixture bake at 425 on medium

high rack in oven until light to medium brown on top. Takes about 17-20 min. Take out of

oven, turn over on wire rack, and let cool. Best darn cornbread you ever ate. Promise.
