Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Cornmeal
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter melted
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 tsp Vegetable Oil

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Oven
  • Whisk
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375˚F. While it’s heating, grab your 12" cast iron skillet and rub the inside with vegetable oil. Place it in the oven to heat up as well. This ensures a beautifully crispy crust.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Be sure to whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the buttermilk to the wet mixture and whisk until fully combined. You should end up with a nice, smooth batter.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon, gently stir until just moistened. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; don’t over-mix!
  6. Carefully take the hot skillet out of the oven. Pour the batter into the skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly across the surface.
  7. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18 to 28 minutes. Keep an eye on it; the cornbread is ready when it’s golden brown and set in the center.
  8. Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, topped with your favorite butter and honey for that extra touch of sweetness.
  9. Enjoy your Homemade Buttermilk Cornbread Recipe! This dish is perfect alongside your favorite soups or stews, or even as a snack on its own.
