Savory Cornbread image

A cornbread for your spicy and or tangy dishes -- nothing sweet about it. Most cornbread calls for one egg. I think the extra egg gives the bread more body and tenderness. This bread bakes in a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet. If you don't have one, c'mon, it's time to get real.

Time 25m

Yield 1 skilletful, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup plain yogurt (or buttermilk)
2 eggs
1/4 cup melted butter (or corn oil, or bacon grease)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Put the butter or other fat into a cast-iron skillet, place the skillet in the oven while it heats and you mix the ingredients.
  • Combine dry ingredients.
  • Lightly beat eggs and combine with yogurt. Add to dry ingredients. Stir just enough to mix.
  • Take the skillet out of the oven. Carefully tilt to coat sides with fat. Pour the melted fat into the batter. Mix well.
  • Transfer batter to hot skillet, smoothing the surface if necessary.
  • Bake for 14 minutes if you're using a 12-inch skillet, until bread pulls away from sides of skillet and is barely golden. If you're using the 10-inch skillet, it may need closer to 20 minutes, but don't overbake.
