Cultural Context

Originating from the Southern United States, buttermilk cornbread is a staple in Southern cuisine, often served alongside meals like fried chicken or collard greens. Traditionally made with simple ingredients, it embodies the comfort and hospitality of Southern cooking.

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup Bob's Red Mill flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

3

Add 1/2 cup unflavored coconut oil to the dry ingredients.

Shake the buttermilk container and measure out 1/4 cup buttermilk, adding it to the mixture.

5

Crack 1 egg into a separate bowl to check for freshness, then add it to the mixture.

6

Mix until combined and let it sit for a moment to absorb.

If the mixture is too stiff, add more buttermilk until the desired consistency is reached.

Prepare two small cast-iron skillets by adding bacon grease and swirling it around to coat.

Pour the batter evenly into the two skillets.

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until done, checking for a good sound when tapping the top.
