Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups buttermilk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet into the oven to preheat while you prepare the batter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs together. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking to incorporate.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
Carefully remove the preheated skillet from the oven and coat the bottom and sides with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Swirl the skillet to distribute the oil evenly.
Immediately pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet. Spread it out into an even layer with a spatula.
Bake the cornbread in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the cornbread cool for 10 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!
