Iron Skillet Cornbread
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup yellow stone-ground cornmeal
1 cup flour, unbleached
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/2 cup creamed corn
Method:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Put butter in 10-inch iron skillet and place skillet in oven until it is very hot.
In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Combine buttermilk, egg and creamed corn and add to dry ingredients. Make sure the batter is pourable. If not, add additional buttermilk.
Swirl melted butter in skillet and pour the batter into it. The batter sizzle when the batter hits the skillet. Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back upon the touch, about 20 minutes.
I love to eat mine drizzled with honey.
