Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 Tablespoon salted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. While the oven is preheating, place an oven-safe cast iron skillet in it to heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Add the buttermilk, cottage cheese, eggs, and oil. Stir just until combined. Stir in the corn.
- Add the butter to the preheated skillet. Once the butter is melted, pour the cornbread batter into the hot pan, then bake for 25-35 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean with just a few crumbs when inserted into the center of the cornbread.
