Easy Skillet Cornbread Recipe

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 extra large eggs, lightly beaten
- 10″ cast iron skillet
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F, heating your cast iron skillet in the oven while it warms.
Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, buttermilk, butter, and eggs in another bowl; stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Batter will be slightly lumpy.
Pour batter into hot skillet.
Bake cornbread in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
Top your cornbread with a sweet jelly or add in a can of diced chilies for a kick of heat and serve alongside chili for a perfect fall recipe! Head over to grab our Chunky Chili recipe to pair with this yummy cornbread!

Is it moist? I love cornbread, even if it’s a little on the dry side. But a moist cornbread that doesn’t completely crumble in my hands has been hard to come by (except at Famous Dave’s).
I’ve always heard that cornbread is best when cooked in a skillet! I absolutely love cornbread So I think I need to try this!
That looks really delish! I’ll have to try your recipe.
I love cornbread. We make it a lot in the colder months.
We don’t really eat cornbread so I didn’t realize how simple it could be to make. I didn’t realize you could make it in a skillet either.
This looks so good! I love cornbread, but it’s not exactly a big thing up here in Rhode Island. I’m one of the few people in my area who makes it.
