Buttermilk Cornbread with Onion 

Corn bread is an American tradition especially of the southern and south-western regions. Most likely the Indians and Mexicans introduced the first simple corn breads to white settlers. Recipes vary as do many staples of the kitchen. With the following, I have used buttermilk and baking soda. Corn Bread is a very quick and wonderful accompaniment to vegetarian or salad dishes. Bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

100 g. fine, yellow cornmeal 
65 g. flour 
180 ml. buttermilk

Butter the sides and bottom of a small pan (+ - 18 cm.) or use bacon fat. Set aside. Heat the 2 t. oil in a small pan and sauté the finely chopped onion until brown. Stir frequently to prevent burning. 

Mix all the ingredients together vigorously for about 30 seconds. Bake for 20 minutes.
