Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 F/ 200 C with the rack in the middle of the oven.
- Grease a 9-inch/ 23 cm baking dish/ cast iron skillet with butter. Alternatively, you can melt the butter for the batter in the same skillet/ dish on the stove ( for the skillet) or in the microwave (for the baking dish) and allow to cool before adding to the batter.
- Whisk together yellow cornmeal, all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.
- Then, make a well in the centre and stir in buttermilk and eggs. Mix well to combine.
- Finally , add butter and mix again until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared skillet/ baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on the top and edges are crispy. The toothpick inserted ( in the centre) should come out clean. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Very hot bread tends to fall apart.
- Serve cornbread with any soup, homemade almond milk, horchata or whatever you like.
