Our family recipe is reliable and tasty. Variations/substitutions like using 2% milk when you are out of buttermilk usually result in little difference in final product.
Liberally grease an iron skillet. Preheat oven to 450.
Mix 2 eggs, 1/4 C veg oil and splash of milk. Add 2 C SR Cornmeal, 1/2 t salt and 1/2 C SR Flour. Stir in enough additional buttermilk to make a thick but pourable batter.
Pour all into skillet and bake about 20 minutes or until GBD.
My aunt preheats her greased skillet and adds batter to a hot pan. Not sure of much different result.

Rita likes cornbread waffles now and then, too. Especially with beans.sweetandsour wrote: ↑25 Oct 2022, 03:30 Never have used any AJ recipe, and didn't know there was one. We keep a few boxes of Jiffy in the pantry, and it's ok and on certain occasions it's very good. Use an oversized skillet so the bread is thinner, and lots of butter in the preheated skillet. Make the batter lumpy and let it rest a bit. The beans and rice don't care.
Otherwise I always use my mom's recipe.

We have a square cast iron skillet and I like it best with some diced green chilies or jalapenos mixed in.

A local joint we order from sends a 10" round cornbread with our chicken-dinner-for-two. They put chilies in it AND honey on top. The honey must go on during cooking because it crisps up a little. I don't think they go well together, but it doesn't count as a side so I get it anyway. I eat it because cornbread, but it's not something I'd pay extra for.Bloodhound wrote: ↑25 Oct 2022, 08:56 We have a square cast iron skillet and I like it best with some diced green chilies or jalapenos mixed in.

What the heck is GBD?
Golden Brown Done? Gooey Batter Dry?
One of the things I love about Southern jargon is the lack of goofy urban acronyms. Don't be startin' that.

I once made brownies in this skillet... Not sure why nobody ate any of them?

I do one with chilies, chorizo, and shredded cheese. It's good enough to be a whole meal.Bloodhound wrote: ↑25 Oct 2022, 08:56 We have a square cast iron skillet and I like it best with some diced green chilies or jalapenos mixed in.
