Categories     Bread

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons vegetable oil or bacon grease (divided (I usually use peanut oil))
2 cups coarse stone-ground cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1-1/2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or bacon grease to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Place the skillet in the oven for five to seven minutes to heat up.
  • While the skillet is heating up, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add the eggs, buttermilk, and two tablespoons of vegetable oil or melted bacon grease to a smaller bowl and whisk until well combined.
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
  • Using a heavy-duty oven mitt or potholder, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Tilt the skillet to make sure the bottom and sides are covered with oil. Immediately pour the batter into the skillet. You should hear a nice sizzle, and you will see the batter already start to rise.
  • Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread is a deep golden brown and has pulled away from the sides a little. To ensure it is done, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a cast iron skillet for the best results. A cast iron skillet will evenly distribute the heat and give the cornbread a crispy crust.
  • Make sure your oven is preheated before baking the cornbread. This will help the cornbread rise properly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough.
  • Add a little bit of sugar to the batter if you like a sweeter cornbread.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the batter, such as chopped onion, bell pepper, or cheese.
  • Serve the cornbread warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping.
