How to Make Z Tejas Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups yellow cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Lightly grease a 10- or 12-inch cast iron skillet (or a similar oven-safe skillet).
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cornbread cool in the skillet for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
