Cornbread Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat up.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until fully combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the pimento cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cornbread

    Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and pour the batter into the skillet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
