When my sisters, brothers and I went away to college in the 80s my mother gave us each a cookbook with all the recipes for the food we ate growing up. She recently asked if I had the recipes electronically, since I didn't I decided to start posting them for family to share. I have posted the recipes as she wrote them. Best thing she ever gave me, I use the cookbook to this day!

Corn Bread

1 1/2 c sour milk or buttermilk
2 eggs
1 T sugar
1 t salt
1/2 t baking soda
1 1/2 c corn meal
1/2 c flour
1/2 c melted butter

Beat together the sour milk or buttermilk, eggs, sugar, salt and baking soda. With a few strokes stir in the corn meal which has been sifted with the flour. Add melted butter, mix and pour into well-greased round pan 8 x 1 1/2 inches. Bake in hot over, 400, for 30-40 minutes. Six to eight servings.

If you want a nice crust on the bread cook it in an iron skillet which has been heated in the oven for about ten minutes.
