Tried and true from my grandmother and mother...

2 cups stone ground cornmeal, preferably white
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1-3/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup melted fat (bacon grease, Crisco, etc)

Preheat oven to 450°F. Add 1/3 cup fat to a 9 or 10 inch cast iron skillet
and place in oven to preheat 8-10 minutes or until fat begins to smoke.

Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Just as
skillet is reaching temperature, use a fork to blend in eggs and
buttermilk. While stirring briskly, pour most of melted fat into batter
and combine thoroughly. Immediately pour batter into skillet and bake on
upper rack of oven 30-40 minutes, or until nicely browned.

Turn cornbread out onto plate and invert to top side up. Slice in wedges
and serve piping hot.
