Southern Buttermilk Cornbread (The Real Deal)

• 2 cups self-rising white cornmeal
• 1 large egg
• 1 12 cups buttermilk
• 14 cup oil

1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Prepare an 8x8 square baking dish (see note) by rubbing with shortening or lard -- it should be well coated.
3. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
4. Pour into prepared dish.
5. Bake at 425 until bottom crust is medium brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out very clean.
6. Remove from oven and turn upside down onto a plate.
7. Cut into 6 servings while hot.
8. Enjoy.
9. NOTE - If you have a seasoned cast iron skillet or baking pan, by all means, use it.
10. Unfortunately, I don't, so I use an 8x8 clear glass baking dish.
