How to Make Skillet Cornbread
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 2 tablespoons of oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet.
- Place the skillet in the preheating oven for 5 minutes to heat the oil.
- While the skillet heats, whisk together 1 1/2 cups cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 1/4 cup melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Add a little more milk if needed to achieve a thick batter.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven (use oven mitts!). Swirl the skillet to coat the bottom evenly with the hot oil.
- Place the skillet on the stovetop and pour the batter into the hot skillet. You'll hear a satisfying sizzle.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with butter and honey, or your favorite jam. Enjoy!
