Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 4 stalks scallions (thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon oil (for greasing skillet)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven while it heats.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish, then allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the thinly sliced scallions, reserving a few slices for garnish, if desired.

Step 7

Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the oil, swirling to coat the bottom and sides of the pan.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Garnish the top with the reserved scallion slices if desired.

Step 9

Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cornbread to cool in the skillet for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm for best results.
