Butter Swim Cornbread

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup melted butter (plus more for greasing)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a cast iron skillet with butter and place it in the oven to heat.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with additional butter if desired.
