Ingredients

• 1.5 cups yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1.5 cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 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 while preparing the batter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted unsalted butter.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven (use oven mitts) and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, swirling it to coat the pan evenly.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the hot skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into 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.
