Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing the pan)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the cast-iron cornstick pan in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Carefully remove the heated cornstick pan from the oven. Brush the cavities of the pan with vegetable oil to ensure the cornbread sticks release easily after baking.
Step 6
Spoon the batter evenly into each cavity of the pan, filling them about three-quarters full.
Step 7
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cornbread sticks are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cornbread sticks cool for 5 minutes before gently removing them from the pan.
Step 9
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite soup or chili.
