Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Truman Capote’s Family’s Cornbread Makes 8 wedges 1 Tbl. Butter 2 eggs 2 cups buttermilk 1 tsp. Sugar 1 tsp. Salt 1 tsp. Baking soda 2 cups stone-ground white cornmeal Preheat over to 450 degrees and place butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet, place in preheated oven. Combine eggs and buttermilk in a small bowl, whisking together with a fork. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, salt, baking soda, and cornmeal, stirring well to combine. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, beating just until moistened and no more Pull the skillet from the oven. It should be good and hot, with the butter sizzling. Swirl the pan to coat it. Quickly transfer the batter to the hot skillet and return the skillet to the oven. Bake until browned and pulling away from the skillet 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot in wedges from the pan.
