Skillet Cornbread
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons honey, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Melt butter in a preheated cast iron skillet, then switch off the heat and set it aside for later use.
3
In a large mixing container, combine buttermilk, cornmeal, eggs, honey, salt, and cayenne pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth mixture.
4
Add flour to the bowl and mix it in, then whisk again to incorporate the additional ingredients.
5
Take the remaining butter from the skillet and pour it into the bowl. Whisk everything together once more.
6
Pour the batter mixture over the remaining butter in the skillet, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
7
Place the skillet in a preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 25 minutes.
8
Once baked, let the skillet cool for a short period before slicing it into individual portions.
