A moist, slightly sweet cornbread baked in a cast iron skillet, perfect for serving with hearty meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to preheat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Carefully remove the hot cast iron skillet from the oven. Pour the batter into the skillet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra moist cornbread, you can substitute half of the milk with buttermilk.
  • Serve warm with butter or honey.
  • This cornbread pairs well with chili, stews, or barbecue.
