Delicious Skillet Cornbread Recipe

This simple and delectable cornbread recipe will elevate your meal with its warm, comforting flavors. Perfect as a side dish or enjoyed on its own, here’s how to make it.

Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing the skillet)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven and Skillet: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (204°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat as you prepare the batter.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry mixture, then pour in the wet ingredients. Gently stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
5. Prepare the Skillet: Using oven mitts, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add the vegetable oil, swirling it around to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet evenly.
6. Bake: Pour the batter into the preheated skillet and return it to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Serve: Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before slicing. It’s delightful served with butter, honey, or as a side to your favorite dishes.

Enjoy your homemade skillet cornbread—a comforting addition to any meal!
