Corn Bread Recipe by F Flud

I will give my recipe for cornbread here, it is mine, it "evolved" over
about a 30 year period.
If you like bread that taste like corn, is very light and holds so well
the slices are sharp pointed, then give it a try,  it also warms over
very nicely without being dry.

one cup yellow cornmeal
half tea soda
two teas baking powder
two teas sugar
one tea salt

whisk above ingredients together in mixing bowl, make "well" in center,
set aside. 

in seperate bowl,
beat the hell out of 1 large egg or 2 small eggs with electric hand held
mixer, eggs at room temperture is best but cold eggs will work.

add to beaten eggs exactley one cup of cultured buttermilk and 1
tablespoon of cooking oil, stir together.

if you placed your oiled, cured 10" skillet in the 425 degree oven
before you started mixing the two bowls above, it should be hot by now,
it must be hot.

pour the "wet" bowl contents into the "dry" bowl and stir to mix, don't
over mix, you have about 30 seconds to set the skillet out of the oven
and pour the batter into the skillet, going in a circular motion around
the skillet in a ever increasing smaller circle, you can not rake the
batter around in the skillet after it hits the hot surface, you can rake
the last remnents of batter from the bowl however,.

set your timer or look at the clock, it will take only eleven minutes
til the bread is done if your oven thermostat is accurate.

turn out bread onto raised bread rack as soon as you take it from oven
or it will  "sweat" if your skillet was "cured" and not used for
anything else, the bread will slide right out. the above sounds like a
lot of fuss but it is not, and you will have cornbread so good it might
make you slap your mamma, she might however slap back
