Golden skillet cornbread crumbs with crisp edges and a tender, buttery center, baked in a cast iron skillet and crumbled into rustic pieces perfect for serving, topping, or repurposing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and place a cast iron skillet inside to heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add milk and eggs to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
  4. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and pour in the melted butter, swirling to coat.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool slightly, then crumble into rustic pieces and serve warm.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the texture tender.
  • Let the cornbread rest briefly before crumbling for better structure.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven to restore crisp edges.
