How to Make Indian Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or a 12-count muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chili powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: melted butter, milk, eggs, and buttermilk.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared skillet or muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven; start checking at 35 minutes.
  7. Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. If using a skillet, let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite sides like fried potatoes and pinto beans!
