1
Preheat the Skillet
Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven and preheat to 450°F (232°C).
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
4
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5
Prepare Skillet
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add a tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the bottom.
6
Bake
Pour the batter into the hot skillet and return to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
7
Cool and Serve
Allow the cornbread to cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
