This Cornbread in a Cast Iron Skillet is slightly sweet and buttery. The cast iron skillet which is heated up in the oven before adding the batter gives it a crunchy crust.

  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Cook: 25 mins
  • Yields: 8 -10 Servings

Ingredients

1¼ cups cornmeal

¾ cup flour

¼ cup sugar

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

⅓ cup milk

1 cup buttermilk

2 eggs, lightly beaten

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat while you make the batter.

2In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk in the milk, buttermilk, and eggs. Whisk in almost all of the melted butter, reserving about 1 tablespoon for the skillet later on.

3Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of the hot skillet with the remaining butter. Pour the batter into the skillet and place it in the center of the oven. Bake until the center is firm and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes and serve.
