1 cup of self rising corn meal
1 cup of buttermilk
1 egg
Mix 3 ingredients thoroughly & let sit 10+ minutes
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Works best with 9” Cast iron “seasoned” frying pan (makes the best crusty slices)
Pour 2 T of vegetable oil in the frying pan
Put the frying pan in the oven while it is preheating
Check often and heat the frying pan w/oil until hot & oil “sizzles” when a drop of water is sprinkled on…. really sizzles but not “smoking”.
Immediately remove the pan and pour the oil in the mixture; the buttermilk mixture should bubble up and sizzle in the frying pan
Put the pan back in the oven and bake about 20-30 minutes until browned.
Slice in like a pie (8 med or 6 lg) and lots of real butter!
