Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 240 milliliters buttermilk
- 60 milliliters whole milk
- 150 grams yellow cornmeal
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams baking powder
- 2 grams baking soda
- 5 grams salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized cast-iron skillet with a little butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted butter until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Step 4
Pour in the buttermilk and whole milk, and whisk to combine the wet ingredients completely.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until the batter comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cornbread tough.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of butter or a drizzle of honey.
