This cornbread is baked -- and served -- in a cast-iron skillet, giving it a crunchy crust.
Ingredients
Makes 16 wedges
1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together
cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder,
baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; set
aside. Whisk together egg and buttermilk;
stir into flour mixture.
Melt butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet
or a 2-quart baking dish in oven. Remove
skillet; swirl to coat bottom. Pour
in batter. Bake until a tester comes out
clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into wedges.
