Cast Iron Skillet Corn Bread
RECIPE COURTESY OF ALEX GUARNASCHELLI
Level: Easy
Total: 55 min
Prep: 15 min
Inactive: 15 min
Cook: 25 min
Yield: 8 to 10 servings

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups coarsely ground cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup whole milk
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat while you make the batter.

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk in the milk, buttermilk, and eggs. Whisk in almost all of the melted butter, reserving about 1 tablespoon for the skillet later on.

Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of the hot skillet with the remaining butter. Pour the batter into the skillet and place it in the center of the oven. Bake until the center is firm and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes and serve.

    I'm truly puzzled with corn bread. I've never had one but I always see Americans consume it as a savory side dish. The question is why using so much sugar in a savory dish?

    Oh Alex thank you so much. I have made so many different types of cornbread and they come out horrible. Really I’ve just gotten myself sick and lots of tears. But after watching this video I just put it in the oven and I think I’m just gonna end up eating it with a fork by myself when I go to sleep. Thank you so much Alex

    Cornbread is a staple food in rooted southern homes. This much butter would not make a good daily table dish, but I sure would enjoy it every once in awhile. For regular eating:
    Heat your skillet with bacon fat. You want meaty smokey goodness, I should not have to convince you of this. Sprinkle the pan with cornmeal after heating the pan and before adding the batter. Make the batter however the hell you please, but maybe not a whole stick of butter. Add a touch of sugar if you want to though, if somebody has something to say about it hit 'em with your skillet and more for yourself. Serve bottoms up.

    It's a shame she didn't keep this weight. she looks healthy here.. not like today…maybe needs to lay off the corn bread and all that butter..

    Is it 425 or 375 degrees? What she says in the video and in the description is different 😢
