Cast Iron Cornbread Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven while it preheats.

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. 3

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and melted Steen's butter. Whisk until well combined.

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the crumbled bacon.

5. 5

   Bake the Cornbread

   Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add a little butter to coat the bottom. Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. 6

   Serve

   Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with fig jam and additional Steen's butter on the side.
