This three-ingredient cornbread is so easy to whip up — all you need is oil, cornmeal and buttermilk!

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons corn oil or bacon drippings
3 cups self-rising cornmeal
2 1/2 to 3 cups well-shaken buttermilk


Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into a well-seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet (see Cook's Note) and place over medium-high heat. Pour the cornmeal into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the cornmeal and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. With a fork, stir in enough of the buttermilk to make a batter that is thick but can be easily poured into the hot skillet. You may not need all 3 cups.

Carefully pour the batter into the skillet. The oil will come up around the edges. Use the back of a spoon to smooth this over the top of the batter. Continue to heat on the stovetop for 1 minute, then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the cornbread until browned on top, about 20 minutes. Immediately turn the cornbread out onto a cooling rack to keep the crust crisp.
