Cornbread Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Skillet

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and melted butter. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the seasonal vegetables.

  5. 5

    Cook the Cornbread

    Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven, add a little butter to coat the bottom, then pour the batter into the skillet. Return to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with homemade butter.
