Cornbread

A classic Southern dish made from a batter of cornmeal, flour, eggs, and buttermilk, baked or fried to create a golden, slightly crumbly bread.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch (20cm) square baking dish or a 9-inch (23cm) round cast-iron skillet with the vegetable oil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the buttermilk and melted butter, whisking until fully mixed.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
