Ingredients
  
  • 2 cups White Lily® Enriched Self-Rising White Cornmeal Mix
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk
  • ¼  cups pure vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ tbsp sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • All-vegetable shortening for greasing the pan
Instructions
 
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spoon some all-vegetable shortening into an 8-inch ovenproof skillet or an 8-inch round or square baking pan. Place the pan in the oven to heat for about 5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg. Then, stir in the cornmeal mix, sugar (if using), buttermilk, and oil, just until moistened. The batter will be lumpy, and that's okay.
  • Carefully remove the hot skillet or pan from the oven, and tilt it to coat the bottom with the melted shortening.
  • Pour the batter into the greased, hot pan, and spread it evenly.
  • Bake the cornbread for 20-25 minutes, or until it's golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before cutting it into servings. Enjoy your White Lily Cornbread warm, with butter or your favorite toppings!
