This is the best homemade corn bread recipe around! Made in a skillet, this corn bread comes out of the oven so hot and delicious it screams, "butter, please!" Our Country Corn Bread is a traditional recipe that's perfect for the holidays or anytime!

What You'll Need

  • 3 cups cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon salt

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a 10-inch cast iron skillet or 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
     
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well then pour batter into prepared baking pan.
     
  3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden and a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cut and serve warm, or allow to cool before serving.

 

Note

If you have a large cast-iron skillet and would like to make crispy corn bread, place 1/3 cup vegetable oil in the skillet and heat in the 450-degree oven until hot. Remove from oven and pour batter over hot oil. Return skillet to oven and bake as above.

cornmeal and flour should be half and half reduce sugar to 11/2 teaspoons add 2 tablespoons butter or omit oil and add 1 stick melted butter or margarine the small amount of sugar makes it lighter

In Virginia, some use sugar, some don't and some sugar to taste. I agree with the too much corn meal. Mom always used 1/2 cornmeal, 1/2 flour and it still works for me!

P.S. I do it in the oven in a 9by 13 pan

Does sound VERY DRY. I have a recipe with a can of cream of corn and a can of whole kernel corn. We also love adding some jalapenos to the batter.

I MADE THIS FOR MY FAMILY AND AS A GIFT FOR ANOTHER FAMILY AND WAS EMBARASSED WHEN WE HAD OURS IT WAS SO DRY AND TASTELESS. THE OTHER FAMIY'S COMMENT WAS THAT IT WAS GOOD IN SOUP. VERY DISAAPOINTED AND I HAVE MADE MANY OTHER RECIPES. THIS IS A NO! SORRY, BUT I MUST BE HONEST.

What if I don't have a cast iron skillet - can I make this in the oven?

I am from Arkansas. You have to much corn meal,to many eggs,to much salt & we don't use sugar. Sorry but your close.

I am also from Arkansas and I agree with you.

Best Cornbread recipe that I have found. My family loves it!

No sugar.

Sounds yummy to me

very bland and dry. I was very disappointed.

willow1 I always add a heaping tablespoon of mayonnaise to ensure moistness.

I agree. I made this yesterday for dinner guests and it was tasteless and very, very dry. I used a glass 8" square baking dish and had it in the oven for just 30 minutes. After dinner when only 2 pieces were eaten, I tossed the cornbread in the garbage along with the recipe. I would have had better results if I had purchased a boxed cornbread mix at the grocery store. Sorry.

This is very tasty, thanks for these good receipes.
