Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. 1-1/2 cups buttermilk

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. 3/4 cup corn meal 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup flour 3/4 teaspoon soda 2 tablespoons sugar 1-1/2 cups buttermilk or sour milk Mix and sift dry ingredients, add buttermilk gradually, and beat well;
  2. pour into well-greased shallow pan, and bake in hot oven twenty minutes.
