There is nothing like fresh homemade cornbread when you are having a fresh pot of pinto beans. This is a simple recipe that I have used for years. You will need the following ingredients:
Recipe:
3/4 cup of buttermilk
1 cup of self-rising cornmeal
1/2 stick of butter
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a medium bowl add the cornmeal and buttermilk and stir this together.
I use a medium size iron skillet to make my cornbread in but you can use a 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking dish.
Slice the butter into smaller pieces and place the butter into the skillet and put it in the oven just until the butter has melted.
Pour the melted butter into the bowl with the cormeal mixture and stir this together.
The batter should be thick but pourable. Pour the batter into the skillet and place the skillet into the oven and bake this for about 25 – 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Place a plate that is larger than the skillet on the top of the skillet and hold it tight and flip the skillet over. This will allow the cornbread to fall onto the plate. Enjoy!
