Best 6 Skillet Sizzled Buttermilk Cornbread Recipes

BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD

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.

CAST IRON SKILLET BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Place a cast iron skillet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix white cornmeal, yellow cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add buttermilk, lard, and vegetable oil; stir will to combine. Stir in egg until smooth batter forms.
• Remove hot cast iron skillet from oven, melt butter in skillet, then pour in batter. Top with paprika and kosher salt. Return skillet to oven.
• Reduce temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and bake until cornbread is golden brown and pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Cut into wedges.

SKILLET-SIZZLED BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and sugar. Stir to combine.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg and oil.
• Place a 9- to 10¼-inch skillet over medium heat, add the butter and heat until the butter melts and is sizzling seriously. Tilt the skillet to coat the sides. As the butter's melting, quickly pour the wet ingredients into the dry and, using a wooden spoon, stir the wet and dry together with as few strokes as possible - only as many as are needed to combine the two. Don't beat it, don't smooth it out. Scrape the batter into the hot, buttery skillet - if it's hot enough, it will sizzle as it goes in - and pop it in the oven immediately.
• Bake until golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve hot.

BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in oven for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
• Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and 4 tablespoons of the butter; stir into cornmeal mixture just until combined.
• Remove skillet from oven, and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to skillet; swirl butter around skillet until heated through, about 30 seconds. Carefully pour batter into hot skillet. Bake in preheated oven until cornbread is golden and pulls away from sides of skillet, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool 3 to 5 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack; slice and serve warm.

CAST IRON SKILLET CORN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat while you make the batter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk in the milk, buttermilk, and eggs. Whisk in almost all of the melted butter, reserving about 1 tablespoon for the skillet later on.
• Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of the hot skillet with the remaining butter. Pour the batter into the skillet and place it in the center of the oven. Bake until the center is firm and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes and serve.

BROWN BUTTER SKILLET CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. On the stovetop, in a 11- or 12-inch skillet (ovenproof and preferably cast iron), melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling pan to lightly coat sides and bottom, until the foam subsides and the butter turns a deep nut brown. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn.)
• Pour brown butter into a large bowl. (Do not wipe out the pan.) Whisk the maple syrup into the butter, then whisk in buttermilk. The mixture should be cool to the touch; if not, let cool before whisking in the eggs. Then whisk in the cornmeal, flours, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
• If the skillet is no longer hot (cast iron retains heat longer than other metals), reheat it briefly on the stove for a few minutes. Scrape batter back into it. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into it emerges clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before slicing.
