## Chef's Notes
|
||||
|
||||
I ought to make this one more often.
|
||||
It has very high [[utility]].
|
||||
|
||||
I think what stops me is the canned ingredients, which I never love
|
||||
and the foresight required to soak the beans
|
||||
(which I'd always prefer over buying canned).
|
||||
Now that I have room I just need to stock more of both.

# Cornbread

||||
|
||||
* 1/4 cup vegetable oil
|
||||
* 2 cups finely ground cornmeal
|
||||
* 8 Tbsp. all purpose flour
|
||||
* 2 1/2 Tbsp. baking powder

* 1 3/4 cups buttermilk

### Instructions
|
||||
|

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Add 1/4 cup oil to a 9 inch cast iron skillet over high heat.
|
||||

||||
3. Add the remaining ingredients to a medium mixing bowl
|
||||
and mix until combined.
|
||||
|
||||
4. When the skillet is thoroughly heated
|
||||
(a drop of batter should sizzle immediately),

pour in the batter to within 1 inch of the top.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
|
||||
Bake until golden and done throughout (25-30 minutes).

|
||||
Invert and return the cornbread to the skillet before serving.

It's tempting to use ground chicken or dilute the broth

to save a couple bucks on ingredients,

This is not an especially flavorful dish to begin with,

Certainly don't do both in the same batch.

I've also known people like the villain from _Ratatouille_

## In This Notebook
|

|

I use "utility" perhaps a bit loosely compared to Wikipedia.
|
||||
|
||||
If I say that some voluntary activity "has high utility",
|
||||
I mean that it is worth doing,
|
||||
even considering the expense
|

(usually labor or dollars).
