If you love cornbread that’s light, tender, and subtly sweet, this northern-style cornbread version is for you.
 
Unlike traditional Southern cornbread that relies solely on cornmeal for a denser, crumbly texture, this recipe incorporates flour to create a softer, cake-like texture.
 
The cast-iron skillet delivers crisp, buttery edges and a soft, tender interior. Best of all, it’s simple and quick to prepare, making it perfect for chili, soups, BBQ, and more.

  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 Cup Yellow Cornmeal
  • 3 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2/3 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Stick Unsalted Butter
  • 1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the cast iron skillet in the oven to pre-heat.

  • Take the skillet out of the oven and pour the remaining 2 tbsp of butter into it. Swirl the butter around so that it do not pop or burn.
  • Quickly add the batter and cook in the over for 18-20 minutes in a cast iron skillet.
