Ingredients
Scale

- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). For an extra crispy crust, place your cast iron skillet in the oven while it heats.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk and eggs. Then stir in melted butter until fully blended.
- Combine All Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Pour Batter into Skillet: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Pour the batter into the skillet and return it to the oven.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
