Skillet Cornbread

A Clara favorite. We ate this covered with fresh strawberries. This recipe is for a 9 inch cast iron skillet but I increase proportions to make it in my 12 inch cast iron. Unfortunately the math isn't pretty so I've stuck with this 9 inch recipe.

1 3/4 c cornmeal

3/4 c flour

1/4 c sugar

1 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/3 c milk

1 c buttermilk (I used vanilla yogurt)

2 large eggs

1 stick butter, melted

Heat oven to 400 degrees and warm cast iron skillet while preparing ingredients.

Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and soda in bowl. Stir in the milk, buttermilk, eggs, and and all of the butter except 1 T. Brush the skillet with reserved melted butter. Pour the batter into the skillet and bake 20-25 minutes.
