Equipment

  • 10-inch cast iron skillet
  • Whisk or spoon for mixing
  • Oven mitts

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the cast iron skillet in the oven while it preheats.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk or stir well to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until well blended.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Remove the hot cast iron skillet from the oven, using oven mitts, and carefully pour the batter into the skillet. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and allow the cornbread to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
