Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the cast-iron cornstick pan in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Carefully remove the heated cornstick pan from the oven. Brush the cavities of the pan with vegetable oil to ensure the cornbread sticks release easily after baking.
Spoon the batter evenly into each cavity of the pan, filling them about three-quarters full.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cornbread sticks are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cornbread sticks cool for 5 minutes before gently removing them from the pan.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite soup or chili.
