Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or cast-iron skillet with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan or skillet and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cornbread cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with butter or honey, if desired, and enjoy!
