This is the ultimate skillet cornbread recipe that pairs amazingly well with so many dishes. This is a family favorite for backyard BBQ's and dinner around the table. This cast iron skillet corn bread comes out moist and buttery sweet with a soft moist center and golden brown on the top.

Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

This cornbread was made for. A cast-iron skillet! However, it works just as well in a 9- inch square baking dish. Start by preheating the oven to 400F and heat 1/2 cup of butter in a 9 inch cast iron skillet right before adding the batter (make sure the butter doesn’t burn inside the skillet).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Create a small well in the center of your dry ingredients and add in the buttermilk and eggs. Mix well to combine, then slowly add in the cooled melted butter to avoid scrambling the  eggs.
Remove your cast-iron skillet from the oven and pour the batter in. Bake the cornbread until reaches a golden brown color and a toothpick in the center comes. Allow to cool 8-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
