1/2cupself-rising flour
1 1/4cupsbuttermilk
2large eggs
1/4cupolive oil
1/4teaspoonsaltif 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
