Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1.5 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat while preparing the batter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted unsalted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven (use oven mitts) and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, swirling it to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake 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 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
