The most important detail of Cash's cornbread? The onions. So many cornbread recipes forget about the savory side and end up making corn cake, but Johnny's recipe gives both sweet and savory their due attention.

1 1/2 cup self-rising cornmeal
1 1/2 cup self rising flour
1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups buttermilk
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup melted butter
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a cast iron skillet.
In a bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir in the eggs and mix until combined. While stirring, slowly stir in the buttermilk. Mix in the onions.
Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet and place in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until the top is lightly browned and the cornbread is set in the middle.
Remove the skillet from the oven and evenly drizzle the melted butter over the top. Let sit for 5 minutes then slice and serve.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
