Description

Indulge in this warm, buttery cornbread with a golden crust and soft center—perfect for any meal or gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk and eggs. Then stir in melted butter until fully blended.
  4. Combine All Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour Batter into Skillet: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Pour the batter into the skillet and return it to the oven.
  6. 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.
