Easy Moist Cornbread Recipe
In a large mixing bowl start with 2 cups ofcornmeal and add to that a ½ cup of all purpose
flour, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, ½teaspoons of baking soda, 2 tsp of kosher
salt, and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
Now I want to note that traditional southerncornbread is not sweet, and the sugar in this
recipe is only meant to round out the flavorsand actually enhance the flavor of the corn.
Don't worry, this is not going to make a sweetcornbread.
So after you have all of that really niceand whisked together, you’re going to add
1 ½ cups of buttermilk, 2 large eggs thathave been lightly whisked together, and 4
ounces of unsalted butter than has been meltedand allowed to cool slightly.
Now just stir all of that together just untilit is really well combined. While I have been
making this cornbread batter, my oven hasbeen preheating to 450F and I have my 10”
cast iron skillet in the oven preheating aswell.
So the skillet is really nice and hot andI'm going to add I’m adding about 2 tablespoons
of melted butter, and you could definitelyuse bacon grease here if you prefer, and I’m
just going to pour the cornmeal batter rightinto the skillet. Because the skillet has
been preheated, it is going to immediatelystart cooking the cornbread on the bottom
and this is what will give it the really iconiccrispy crust.
So just smooth the batter out on top a littlebit and go right into the oven. Bake this
at 450 F for about 20 minutes until the topis really nice and golden brown.
This cornbread is really moist and tender.It’s buttery and has a beautiful crispy
crust and is just the perfect side dish forall of your fall and winter comfort food.
