Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup creamed corn
- 1 unit large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda until well combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, creamed corn, and egg until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Carefully remove the hot cast iron skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom and sides as it melts.
Pour the batter into the prepared skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool in the skillet for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
