Blue Corn Bread

Can't beat the combination of cornbread and black beans. well, you can if you throw in sweet potatoes and mangos. but still. it's always a safe and yummy and hearty way to go. and I don't know why, but I love blue cornbread. not sure if it really tastes different or if it's just that I like the color. This recipe is my modification from the Joy of Cooking.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup blue corn meal
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk (or 1 cup milk, 1 cup plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons cider vinegar)
1/2 cup sugar or honey
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450F.
In large bowl mix together the dry ingredients. Break eggs separate bowl and whisk until frothy. Mix remaining wet ingredients in with eggs (except the oil). Add wet to dry and stir until everything is just moist.
In an iron skillet over medium high, heat the oil until it begins to smoke.
Add the batter all at once.
Place skillet in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Best if served warm.
