How to Make Skillet Sizzled Buttermilk Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ cup sugar.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1 large egg, and ¼ cup vegetable oil.
  4. Place a 9- to 10-inch cast iron skillet (or oven-safe skillet) over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and heat until melted and sizzling.
  5. Tilt the skillet to coat the sides with melted butter.
  6. Quickly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a wooden spoon just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the hot, buttery skillet. It should sizzle upon contact.
  8. Immediately transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving warm.
