I used the cornbread recipe from <em>Nourishing Traditions<\/em> by Sally Fallon. The organic whole wheat flour and organic cornmeal was freshly ground by Amy Law of <a href=\"http:\/\/lawranchcattlecompanytx.farming.officelive.com\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Law Ranch Cattle Company<\/a>. Since we do not use a lot of it, I did not soak the cornmeal in lime water; however, I did soak the flour and cornmeal in raw milk yogurt (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.puremilkfarms.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pure Milk Farms<\/a>)\u00a0for about 22 hours. I added the other ingredients as listed, including local eggs, but used only about a tablespoon of organic maple syrup. I\u2019ve always thought Southern cornbread should be made in an iron skillet, so I changed the cooking method slightly. I melted the butter in the skillet while the oven was heating to 400 F. When it had fully melted (but was not yet too hot), I poured the melted butter into the batter. I baked the cornbread for about 20 minutes in the 400 F. oven. It was so good, fresh, and very moist\u2014excellent with lots of butter. The cornbread accompanied locally made nitrite-free sausage, fried okra (farmers market okra fried in <a href=\"http:\/\/revivalmarket.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Revival Market <\/a>lard), and fresh buttered broccoli (nope, not local). Now that was a really good meal and very satisfying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After finding a good, local source of freshly ground flour and corn meal, I made cornbread, in an iron skillet, of course.
