  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 -3 tablespoon sugar, depending on how sweet you like it

  • 3 tablespoons butter

Recipe

  • 1 preheat oven to 375 in a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and sugar.

  • 3 stir well to combine.
  • 4 in a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and oil.
  • 5 place the butter in a 9 or 10 inch skillet and place in the oven and heat until the butter melts and is sizzling seriously.
  • 6 tilt the pan to coat the sides of the skillet.
  • 7 as the butter's melting, quickly pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and, using a wooden spoon, stir the wet and dry together with as few strokes as possible--- only as many as are needed to combine the two.
  • 8 don't beat it!
  • 9 scrape the batter into the hot, buttery skillet.
