Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted butter until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Pour in the buttermilk and whole milk, and whisk to combine the wet ingredients completely.
In a separate bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
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.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
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.
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.
