Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat up while you prepare the batter.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter.
Step 4
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix to avoid a dense bread.
Step 5
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven (use oven mitts!). Add the vegetable oil to the skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
Step 6
Pour the batter directly into the hot skillet. You should hear a satisfying sizzle—this helps create the crispy crust.
Step 7
Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the cornbread cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm as a side to soups, stews, or barbecue!
