Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
6 scallions
2 cups stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening or rendered bacon fat
4 large eggs
2 cups well-shaken buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425° F. Melt butter and cool. Finely chop scallions. Into a bowl sift together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Heat a dry well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet in middle of oven 10 minutes. Put shortening or bacon fat in skillet and heat 5 minutes. Swirl skillet to coat. While skillet is heating, make batter: Separate eggs. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat yolks until pale and beat in butter and buttermilk. In a bowl with cleaned beaters beat whites until they just hold stiff peaks. Stir flour mixture into yolk mixture and fold in whites and scallions gently but thoroughly. Pour batter into hot skillet and, working quickly, spread evenly. Bake corn bread in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Corn bread may be made 4 hours ahead and kept, loosely covered, at room temperature.

This cornbread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This cornbread was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra buttermilk next time.
