Here’s a simple, delicious way to make Skillet Cornbread at home:
🥣 Ingredients:
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter (plus extra for the skillet)
🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, and melted butter.
- Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined.
- Bake in skillet: Carefully remove hot skillet, add a bit of butter to coat, pour batter in. Bake 20–25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Serve: Slice and serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread.
🔥 Tip: For a richer flavor, add 1/2 cup corn kernels or shredded cheese to the batter.
