How to Make Mom's Southern Cornbread
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix!
- If using, gently fold in the chopped scallions or chives.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cast iron skillet. Spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Let the cornbread cool in the skillet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
