close, but no cigar. They never get things quite right in Alabama. There is nothing in the world wrong with using Lard or peppers in Corn Bread. Adding Creamed Corn is ok too.
this is how my grandma taught me how to make corn bread
Cornbread with stone ground meal
Mix together:
1 cup fine grind, stone ground white cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Mix together:
2/3 cup Buttermilk
1 large egg
2 Tablespoons melted lard
Add the dry ingredients into the wet, in two batches. Do not over mix.
Pour into a greased 8 inch cast iron skillet, and bake at 400F for about 20 minutes.
