Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°
- Mix the cornmeal, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Stir the milk into the beaten eggs, and pour over the dry ingredients in batches, stirring vigorously to make a smooth glossy batter.
- Cut the butter into pieces and put it in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or baking pan. Put the skillet in the preheated oven, and heat until the butter is melted and foaming. Remove from the oven, and swirl the butter all around the skillet to coat the bottom and sides thoroughly. Pour the remaining melted butter into the cornbread batter, and stir well until the butter is absorbed into the batter. Turn the batter into the heated skillet, and put in the oven to bake for 30-40 minutes, until cornbread is golden brown and crusty on top and pulls away from the sides of the skillet.
- Remove the skillet from the oven, and turn the cornbread out onto a plate. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serve the cornbread while it is hot.

SWEET MILK CORNBREAD
I have used this recipe for thirty years. It is from a 1974 cookbook called "Country Cooking". It was one of Southern Living Magazines books. I have been using oil in place of the butter that was called for in the original recipe for years with good results. The secret to this cornbread is a "screamin' hot" iron skillet, greased only on the bottom, and a hot oven. I serve this with chili, vegetable soups, and tex mex.

MOM'S SWEET BUTTERMILK CORN BREAD
This corn bread is a little on the sweet side. It's made with white cornmeal, but yellow works too. I learned to make it from my other mom (MIL). It is baked in a cast-iron skillet. Can be used to make stuffing or put leftovers in a cup with milk and put it in the fridge overnight for a comforting breakfast.

Tips:
- Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for the best results. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet, but the cornbread may not be as crispy.
- Preheat the oven and skillet before adding the batter. This will help the cornbread cook evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
- Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Sour milk cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make Southern classic. It's perfect for any occasion, from weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings.
