Ingredients

2 cups stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for preparing the pan
1/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups milk

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch cast iron skillet.

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or with a hand-held electric mixer and a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar and mix until light and airy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition.

Add the cornmeal mixture to the butter mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the milk in 2 parts, until just combined into a thick batter. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly before serving.

Just OK
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I don't make cornbread often, so i don't have a "favorite" recipe stored in my brain. This recipe looked simple & quick,... however, the finished product wasn't what I wanted. I like crumbly, sweet cornbread, and this recipe just didn't fit the bill. Wasn't entirely awful, but I won't use this recipe again.Read more

It was OK
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

To me, this recipe was OK. It was very dry and needs more sugar in my opinion. The corn flavor definitely came through,... though.Read more

Good

I like this recipe as a starting point, I doubled the sugar and drizzled honey all over the top and it was amazing.

Very good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Firm, yet fluffy. A great cornbread recipe. Everybody that I make it for loves it. I recommend mixing all ingredients by... hand, however, rather than using a standing mixer.Read more
