Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/4 cups ground cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a 10 inch cast iron skillet in the preheating oven to warm up while you mix your batter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients - cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes in the bowl.
  • Remove the hot skillet (carefully!) from the oven and coat the bottom and sides with butter (you can also use a cooking spray or oil, but butter will provide the best flavor).
  • Pour your batter into the hot skillet and place back in the oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean or with a few crumbs. Allow cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Optionally, brush the top with more melted butter before serving.
