Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar optional
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ½ cup melted unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) °F and position the rack in the center.
- Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) baking dish or cast iron skillet with butter. Alternatively, you can melt the butter for the batter directly in the skillet (on the stove) or baking dish (in the microwave), then let it cool before adding it to the batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk and eggs, then stir until well combined.
- Add the melted butter(cooled) and mix again until fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or baking dish.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are crisp. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Cool for 10–15 minutes before serving, as hot cornbread can fall apart easily.
