Just pulled it out of the oven and it looks and smells wonderful. I searched for a recipe like the one my family has always made -- off the baking powder can, with no sugar -- and I think this is The One. It's the basis for my Thanksgiving stuffing/dressing. I mixed the egg into the buttermilk before adding it to the dry mixture. Also I used 4 Tbs butter, swirled it around in the pan after it melted then poured it into the cornmeal mixture, stirred, and poured it all back into the pre-heated pan.

This was a good easy recipe to make - I didn't have a cast iron mold, so I used a glass loaf dish instead and the corn bread still turned out well (I heated the dish first as per the recipe called for). Next time I might add a little sugar to the batter, I think I was missing the sweetness, but I still liked the taste and so did my husband. Thanks for the recipe!
