Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 9-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to preheat. If using a baking dish, simply grease it and set aside.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and most of the melted butter together (reserve about 1 tablespoon of butter for the skillet).

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to fold them together just until moistened. A few lumps are fine; do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven, swirl the reserved 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the bottom, and immediately pour the batter into the hot skillet (it should sizzle).

  6. 6

    Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges have pulled away from the sides of the pan. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
