Perfectly Moist Skillet Cornbread
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Sticks Butter unsalted
- 1/4 Cup Honey
- 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 2 Cups Buttermilk
- 2 Eggs large
- 1 1/2 Cups Cornmeal yellow
- 1 Cup Flour
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
- 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet (or ovenproof), over medium heat and add the butter. Cook, occasionally stirring until foamy and the butter turns a deep nut brown. Immediately pour off into a large bowl to cool.
- Turn the burner off and place the skillet back on the burner.
- Whisk the honey, maple syrup, and sugar into the butter, then whisk in the buttermilk. Once cooled, whisk in the eggs. Switch to a wooden spoon and stir in the cornmeal, flours, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
- If the skillet is no longer hot, reheat it briefly on the stove for a few minutes then scrape batter back into it. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
