Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400℉ and place the rack in the middle of the oven. Generously grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet with bacon grease or butter.
  2. Stir together the cornmeal, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Sift in the flour and baking powder. Whisk together until thoroughly combined, making sure there are no lumps of flour. Make a well in the center of the dry mix.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Pour in the milk and beat again. Pour mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
  4. Pour the cream and the melted butter into the cornbread batter. Mix just to combine.
  5. Scrape the batter into the prepared cast iron pan. Place on the middle rack of the oven.
  6. Bake for 22-25 minutes; ovens will vary. Look for the cornbread to rise slightly in the center and form a few cracks. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  7. Remove from oven and wrap a tea towel around the handle of the skillet. Serve immediately, with butter and honey.

Notes

  • Recipe can be made gluten-free by replacing the all purpose flour with an equal amount of gluten free all purpose flour mix.
