Cornbread

A tender, golden American cornbread with crisp browned edges, a lightly sweet crumb, and enough buttermilk tang to keep every bite moist. Baking it in a preheated cast-iron skillet gives the classic contrast of crunchy crust and soft center.

Comment préparer

1
Place a 23 cm cast-iron skillet in the oven and preheat to 220°C. Heat it for at least 15 minutes so the batter will sizzle on contact.
2
Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until evenly combined and no streaks of leavener remain.
3
In a second bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, and 60 g of the melted butter until smooth and fully blended.
4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula just until no dry pockets remain; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy. Rest it for 5 minutes while the skillet finishes heating.
5
Remove the hot skillet carefully, add the remaining 25 g melted butter, and swirl to coat the base and sides. Immediately pour in the batter; it should make a faint sizzling sound at the edges.
6
Bake on the center rack for 20 to 22 minutes, until the top is deeply golden, the center springs back lightly, and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs rather than wet batter.

Cool the cornbread in the skillet for 10 minutes so the crumb sets, then cut into 8 wedges and serve warm.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

A hot, oiled skillet starts the crust browning immediately, while buttermilk and melted butter keep the interior tender. A restrained amount of sugar rounds out the corn’s natural sweetness without turning the bread into cake.
