Old Fashioned Cornbread

(this is not a sweet cornbread)

1 c. yellow cornmeal

1 c. buttermilk

1 egg

1 Tbs. oil

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. baking soda

Wipe an iron skillet with oil. Blend all ingredients together. In the center of the skillet pour 1 Tbs. oil. Pour mixture into the oil and bake in a 350 F oven for 25 minutes.
(We always doubled this recipe.)

You can add other ingredients such as a can of corn, chopped green chilies, chopped onions, or anything that might strike your fancy.

My Grandmother served this cornbread with a pot of pinto beans and a ham hock that simmered on the stove for about 6 hours.

My mother served her cornbread and beans with slawed cabbage using only oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.

Throw in a couple of wieners and you have a great meal.
