Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal (preferably stone-ground)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups well-shaken buttermilk
1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened
Accompaniment: buckwheat honey butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Put a dry, well-seasoned 9- to 9 1/2-inch cast-iron skillet in middle of oven to heat.
  • Stir together cornmeal, baking soda, and salt, crushing any small bits of baking soda. Whisk eggs in another bowl until blended and whisk in buttermilk.
  • Remove hot skillet from oven carefully and add butter, swirling gently to coat bottom and sides of skillet. (If butter begins to sizzle and brown around edges, so much the better.)
  • Whisk hot butter into buttermilk mixture and return skillet to oven. Stir cornmeal into buttermilk mixture just until moistened. (The batter doesn't have to be smooth-a few small lumps are good.)
  • Scrape batter into hot skillet and bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Invert skillet over a platter and cool bread at least 3 minutes.

This cornbread was a disappointment. It was too dense and didn't have much flavor.

I wasn't impressed with this cornbread. It was dry and bland. I won't be making it again.

I'm not usually a fan of cornbread, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so moist and flavorful. I'll definitely be making it again.

This is the best cornbread recipe I've ever tried! It's so easy to make and always turns out perfect. I love that I can make it in my skillet, so I don't have to heat up the oven.

I wasn't sure how this cornbread would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was moist and flavorful, and the crust was perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making this again.

This cornbread was a hit with my family! It was so easy to make and had a delicious flavor. I added some chopped jalapenos to give it a little bit of a kick and it was perfect.
