Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and skillet: Preheat oven to 400°F with an 8” or 9” cast iron skillet inside.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, oil, egg, brown sugar, and honey until combined.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: Sift cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  4. Blend batter: Add flour mixture and buttermilk to wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.

Notes

  • If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • For a savory twist, try adding chopped jalapeños or shredded cheese to the batter.
