Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Skillet
  • Casserole dish

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven while it's preheating.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising cornmeal and self-rising flour.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and olive oil until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and grease it with a bit of oil or butter.
  • Pour the batter into the hot skillet. The edges should sizzle.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let it cool in the skillet for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can customize this recipe by adding other herbs or vegetables of your choice. For a vegetarian version, omit the poultry and use vegetable broth. The dressing can be prepared a day in advance and baked just before serving
