Skillet Corn Bread

Sharing is caring!

A simple, slightly sweet corn bread made in the versatile cast-iron skillet. Tastes great and is a good base recipe to experiment with. Cast-iron skillets take a little bit of time to warm up. Pre-warming the skillet allows the corn bread to cook evenly.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place 9-inch cast-iron skillet in oven to warm it.

Mix milk and cornmeal together in small bowl and let soak for 10 minutes.

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Beat cornmeal mixture, eggs, and butter into the flour mixture until you have a smooth batter, about 1 minute.

Remove skillet from oven. Swish vegetable oil in the skillet to coat; pour off excess.

Pour batter into the skillet.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 23 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.
