Faith Hill's cornbread goes perfectly with her husband Tim McGraw's Chicken and Dumplings!

INGREDIENTS
  • Iron skillet (7"–10")
  • 3 Tbsp. Crisco Butter Shortening
  • 1 1/2 cups Martha White Yellow Cornmeal Mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Preheat oven to 500°

Put 3 tablespoons Crisco in the iron skillet and melt. Set aside.

In a bowl, mix cornmeal, egg and buttermilk to right consistency (should not be thick nor too liquidy). Pour the melted shortening into the mixture, leaving a small amount in the skillet so the bread will not stick, and stir. Sprinkle a little bit of cornmeal in the skillet then pour the mixture into the skillet.

Bake at 500° until it is deliciously golden brown.
