Baking cornbread in a cast-iron skillet gives it a crisp, brown crust, and keeps the inside moist and light; serve the bread right from the pan.

  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk.

  • Carefully remove hot skillet from oven; immediately pour butter into the buttermilk mixture, and whisk to combine. Using a pastry brush, coat bottom and sides of pan with remaining butter.

  • Stir cornmeal mixture into buttermilk mixture until just moistened. Stir in jalapeno. Scrape batter into hot skillet; bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Cook's Notes

If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, use a 9-inch square baking pan; cool bread in pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert and cool 10 minutes more before serving.

Wonderful taste, but very dry and crumbly on bottom.

I liked this recipe. Quick and easy, not too sweet and it had a nice cakey texture. But it was much much too salty. I would cut back the salt to 1/2 tsp next time.

Thank you for your comments! Wish the web master would see your comments. I'm going to check the cookbook and see if there's something omitted.

This recipe is a little off. Mix the cornmeal, baking soda and salt (sugar /-). Add ONE egg and enough buttermilk to moisten so that the mixture just slides easily off the spoon when you hold a spoonful over the bowl and tip it. Add the hot butter or oil from the hot cast-iron skillet. Cook in a hot oven 425-450 just until golden brown and the crust is not too brown. Hmmm...crusty moist cornbread.
