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

Directions

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.

    No flavor

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    Followed the recipe exactly. Texture was spot on in my well-seasoned cast iron skillet but this corn bread had NO flavor. ... I'm still searching for the recipe that the whole family will enjoy. No one finished their slice.Read more

    OMG - This was awful - and not at all what I expected from Alton Brown. I just threw out the entire pan because it was... completely tasteless.Read more

    Cornbread as it should be

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Thank God for Alton and his southern roots! This cornbread is what it's supposed to be--not that sickening sweet cakey stuff.... I did add 1 cup of flour and it still turned out beautifully. Great recipe, easy to do.Read more

    Great - even after making it my own!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I was glad to read some of the other reviews before making this...I too think the cast iron skillet was key to its success.... And, because I had seen it in some other recipes I added a heaping 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar and green onion along with some smoked paprika to the batter. I also added a bit more buttermilk (used reduced fat) to get it to "pour." I used salted butter in the pan instead of the canola oil which added great flavor and a wonderful crunchy crust. I'll make this one again for sure!Read more

    Alton let me down =(

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    Having my southern mother-in-law over for dinner is never a treat. Being southern myself, I decided to make cornbread to go... with my husbands red beans and rice dish. Forgoing my usual recipe in favor of my hero's, was a disaster. It came out very dry, not in the yummy crumbly dry way, just needing a gallon of sweet tea to wash it down. It was also bland. I'm hoping since I used canned creme corn, instead of homemade, it's my fault the cornbread came out so dry and dull. Now I can't live down the pitiful attempt at cornbread from my MIL, and I'm heartbroken Alton let me down!!Read more

    Good southern-style cornbread

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I like this recipe, as it's not too sweet. Good southern cornbread shouldn't be too sweet. Also, the texture is a bit more... "grainy" and less cake-like. I like that in a cornbread. However, the flavor of this recipe can vary greatly. I first made it with a regular can of creamed corn. The cornbread was good, but nothing to get really worked up about. Then, I tried it with AB's creamed corn, the one from his recipe on the same show. MAN! That really woke up this recipe. AB's creamed corn made me realize just how crappy regular old creamed corn truly is. And that made all the difference in this recipe. Read more
