🌽 Southern Cornbread

Servings: 8–10

✅Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp honey, optional

✅Method

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven while it heats.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vegetable oil, and honey if using.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Don’t overmix.
5. Carefully remove the hot skillet and add a little butter or oil to coat the bottom.
6. Pour the batter into the hot skillet. It should sizzle around the edges.
7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm with butter and honey. 🌽🧈
