Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place an oven-proof 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg and 3 tablespoons butter. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist. Remove skillet from the oven and add remaining 3 tablespoons until heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Working carefully, immediately scoop the batter into the hot skillet. Place into oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 5 minutes. Serve warm.

CHEDDAR BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD
This is a delicious cornbread! I don't like mine too sweet, so feel free to add more sugar. You can also add chives, jalapenos, scallions, thyme or anything else you desire! Making these as muffins works good too. This is adapted from a recipe in Bon Appetit magazine, Dec. 2002. I am on a mission to get rid of all of my food mags and put the recipes I like on Zaar. Wish me luck! LOL

BUTTERMILK CHEDDAR CORN CAKES
Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the wet ingredients.
- Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. While whisking, pour in the melted butter and stir until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. (Be sure not to overwork the batter.) Fold in the Cheddar, corn, if using, and chives.
- Place the skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat the bottom. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the pan, spreading gently to form a thick circle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet in between each batch (this will help the corn cakes rise). Serve immediately, with more butter and maple syrup, if desired.

Tips:
- To ensure a moist and flavorful cornbread, use fresh buttermilk and sweet corn kernels. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it well before adding it to the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cornbread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For a crispy crust, preheat your oven to a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) before baking the cornbread. You can also brush the top of the cornbread with melted butter before baking to give it a golden brown color.
- Cornbread is best served warm, but it can also be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze cornbread for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw the cornbread at room temperature or wrap it in foil and warm it in a preheated oven.
Conclusion:
Cheddar buttermilk cornbread is an easy-to-make and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is a great way to use up leftover buttermilk and corn, and it is also a perfect dish to serve for a potluck or picnic.
