1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Wet ingredients:

Categories side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 cup creamed corn
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet into the oven.
In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together to combine well.
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and creamed corn, whisking together to combine thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and stir to combine. If the batter will not pour, add more buttermilk to the batter.
Swirl the canola oil in the hot cast iron skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet. Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back upon the touch, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but be sure to check the expiration date.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense cornbread.
Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for the best results. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking pan, but the cornbread won't be as crispy.
Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the cornbread. This will help ensure that the cornbread cooks evenly.
Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cornbread is cooked through.
Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

With its slightly sweet and savory flavor, moist texture, and crispy crust, cornbread is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as a side dish or a main course, this easy-to-make recipe is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting dish, give this makeover ultimate corn bread recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
