Golden Cast-Iron Cornbread
This golden cast-iron cornbread comes together quickly and is the perfect companion for your favorite cozy meals. Enjoy its crisp crust and soft, warm interior.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups fine yellow cornmeal
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup avocado oil melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Begin by setting your oven to 425°F. This ensures the skillet gets hot and ready for batter.
- Mix the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Note the pleasant scent of corn as you stir.
- In a second bowl, blend together the milk, melted avocado oil, and egg until smooth. The mixture should be creamy and well-combined.
- Add coconut oil to your cast-iron skillet and place it in the oven to heat for 5 minutes. This creates that crisp edge we love.
- Quickly create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture. Stir just enough to combine, then carefully pour the batter into the sizzling skillet.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the top is golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Notes
For best results, serve your cornbread warm alongside a bowl of spicy chili or a hearty stew. The flavors and textures complement each other beautifully!
