Nees Angel Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• Place four 6 1/2-inch cast-iron skillets in the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Whisk the cornmeal, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the Parmesan and Cheddar and toss lightly to mix.
• Whisk the buttermilk, melted butter and eggs in a second bowl. Pour into the cornmeal mixture and mix until just combined.
• Carefully remove the skillets from the oven. Divide the remaining 2 tablespoons butter among the skillets and let it melt. Swirl the skillets to coat them with the butter and divide out the batter. Bake the cornbreads until golden on the edges and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. 14 to 15 minutes. Let cool on a rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven and heat it for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the batter.
• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs and melted butter.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into the well. Use a fork or spatula to stir the batter until evenly combined.
• Remove the hot skillet from the oven, add the fat and swirl to coat the bottom. Pour the batter into the skillet and, using a spatula, spread the batter evenly across the pan. Bake until lightly golden brown, firm and springy to the touch, about 25 to 30 minutes (see Cook's Note). Remove from the oven and serve directly from the skillet, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the oil into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and place in the oven to heat while the oven is preheating.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk and butter. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and pour the batter into it. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.
