Southern Cornbread Recipe

We always have cornbread with our bean soup. I make it in my cast-iron skillet. I make the Southern version. I don’t like the Northern stuff or Johnny Cake.

4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup of yellow or white cornmeal (whichever you prefer)
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

Place all ingredients into mixing bowl, and beat until smooth.
Pour in a skillet or a 9x9x2-inch pan.
Baked at 425° for 20 to 25 minutes.
