Servings: persons

¼ cup vegetable oil
2 cups cornmeal (yellow and ground)
½ cup flour (I used spelt)
1 tablespoon sugar (I used Z-Sweet powdered sugar substitute)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon baking soda

1
Preheat oven to 450'F.
2
Pour the oil into a seasoned cast iron skillet and place in the oven.
3
Let the skillet heat up until very hot.
4
I noticed mine was smoking when I removed it, so that means its very hot.
5
When done, remove the pan from the oven and pour off any excess oil.
6
While the oil is heating, in a mixing bowl, sift together the corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
7
Stir in the buttermilk, eggs and melted butter, stirring until just mixed.
8
Stir in the corn kernels.
9
Pour the batter into the hot skillet and return to the oven.
10
Reduce the heat to 400'F.
11
Bake the bread until golden brown on top.
12
Use a skewer to test the center of the bread.
13
If it comes out clean it is done.
14
Cool the skillet on a wire rack for about 5 minutes and then turn out onto a large plate and cut into wedges.
15
This makes about 8 wedges.

Bon Appetit!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
