Homemade Cornbread Skillet
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven by placing a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside and setting the temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2
Combine milk and cornmeal in a small bowl, allowing them to mingle for 10 minutes.
3
In a separate mixing container, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Gradually add the cornmeal mixture, eggs, and melted butter to this bowl, then blend until a smooth consistency is achieved, approximately 1 minute.
4
Retire the hot skillet from the oven and add a sufficient amount of vegetable oil to coat its interior. Gently swirl the oil around, then pour out any excess before pouring the batter into the skillet.
5
Bake the skillet in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into its center emerges clean, ranging from 18 to 23 minutes.
