1.5 cupscornmeal
1.5 cupsbuttermilk
1/2 cupbutter, melted
Instructions
1
Whisk together the cornmeal, buttermilk, egg and melted butter until just combined.
2
A few lumps are fine, overmixing makes the cornbread tough.
3
Heat a well-greased skillet in the oven until properly hot, then carefully pour in the batter, it should sizzle audibly as it hits the pan.
4
Bake at 220C for 20-22 minutes until deeply golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Rest a few minutes before slicing.
