Cast Iron Skillet Corn Bread
From Nordstrom cookbook

Ingredients:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 Tbsp. water
3/4 cup whole kernel corn


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour the vegetable oil in a 10" cast iron skillet and put the skillet
in the oven while it preheats. Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and a few grindings of pepper
in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg and water. Mix the wet and dry ingredients until moist.
Mix in the corn. Carefully pour the batter into the pre-heated pan. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the bread 
has pulled away from the side of the pan. Serve immediately. Makes about 8 servings. This is not as good the next
day so only make as much as you think you'll need for the one meal.
