Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal (preferably stone-ground)
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups well-shaken buttermilk (do not use powdered)
1/2 stick unsalted butter
Equipment: a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle. Heat skillet in oven 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile stir together dry ingredients in small bowl. Whisk together eggs and buttermilk in a medium bowl.
  • Remove hot skillet from oven (handle will be very hot) and add butter, swirling skillet to coat bottom and side (butter may brown). Whisk hot butter into buttermilk mixture and return skillet to oven. Stir cornmeal mixture into buttermilk mixture just until evenly moistened but still lumpy.
  • Scrape batter into hot skillet and bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn out onto a rack and cool.
