Craig Claiborne's Southern Cornbread


I've been experimenting with cornbread recipes lately and this is one of my favorites. I don't bake it in a skillet, i use a regular 8 x 8 pan, and it comes out fine. Really yummy!!

Steps


Preheat oven to 350 degrees f.
Sift the flour , cornmeal , baking soda , and salt into a mixing bowl.
Beat the eggs until foamy and stir them into the dry mixture.
Stir in the buttermilk and 1 cup whole milk.
Heat the butter in a 9 x 2-inch black skillet , and when it is very hot but not brown , pour in the batter.
Carefully pour the remaining 1 cup whole milk on top of the batter without stirring.
Place the dish in the oven and bake 50 minutes , or until set and baked through.
Slice into wedges.
