Cast Iron Cornbread begins with corn meal, AP flour, and a wet ingredient combination that includes eggs, vegetable oil, whole milk, and melted unsalted butter. The batter goes into cast iron with melted salted butter before baking.

Watch How to Make It

The baking instructions provide two endpoints: the cornbread should be golden brown, or a toothpick inserted into it should come out clean. Those are the stated checks for knowing when it is finished.

Ingredients You'll Need

Yellow corn meal and AP flour are mixed with salt, sugar, and baking powder in one bowl. These dry ingredients are kept separate from the wet ingredients until the batter is assembled.

The wet bowl holds the eggs, vegetable oil, whole milk, and melted unsalted butter. Salted butter is used separately in the cast iron before the cornbread mixture is poured in.

How To Make It

Start by setting out the dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls. The cornbread mixture is combined after both groups have been mixed.

Preheat the oven. The source instructions do not provide a temperature for this initial preheat step.

In a large bowl, mix the yellow corn meal, AP flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, vegetable oil, whole milk, and melted unsalted butter.

Combine the dry ingredients and wet ingredients, then mix them together to make the cornbread mixture. Keep the mixture ready while the salted butter melts in the cast iron.

Place 6 tablespoons of salted butter in the cast iron and place it in the oven. Once the butter has melted, pour in the cornbread mixture.

Bake at 350 for 17 to 22 minutes. The cornbread is done when it is golden brown or when a toothpick comes out clean.
