📝 Directions:

Prepare the Batter:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Bake the Cornbread:

  1. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the 2 tablespoons of butter, swirling to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet.
  2. Pour the batter into the hot, buttered skillet, spreading it evenly.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serve:

  1. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the cornbread cool for a few minutes.
  2. Slice and serve warm, with additional butter if desired.
