Description

This recipe for buttermilk cornbread, called Golden Skillet Squares, offers a comforting, family-friendly treat with a golden crust and tender crumb, perfect for easy baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal, medium grind
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prep Oven And Pan: Preheat your oven to 400 F (200 C). Generously grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or a 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs until well combined and smooth.
  4. Introduce Melted Butter: Slowly pour the melted butter into the wet ingredients, whisking constantly until fully blended and creamy.
  5. Combine Wet And Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened; a few lumps are fine, but avoid overmixing.
  6. Pour And Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared hot skillet or baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Rest And Serve: Let the cornbread rest in the skillet or dish for 5 minutes after baking to set up. Slice into ‘Golden Skillet Squares’ and serve warm.

Notes

For an extra crispy crust, preheat your cast iron skillet with a tablespoon of butter melting in it. Stone-ground cornmeal offers deeper flavor, and whole wheat flour can be used for added fiber. Reduce sugar for a savory cornbread, or use vegetable oil for a dairy-free option. If you don’t have buttermilk, combine 1 cup regular milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes. Avoid overmixing the batter for a tender crumb. Ensure leavening agents are fresh. Serve warm, optionally with chili or beans.
