Skillet Cornbread

Ingredients

• 2 cups cornmeal, ground fine-medium
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking bowder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs, whole
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup creamed corn
• 5 ounces vegetable oil, plus 2 tablespoons for cooking cornbread

Steps

1. Bring the oven up to 375°F. Mix the cornmeal, baking powder and salt thoroughly in a mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, creamed corn and oil. Mix the wet and dry mixtures until fully incorporated.
2. In a 10 inch cast iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Pour in the batter once the oil is hot. It should bubble slightly in the skillet and form a crust. After cooking for 2 minutes, take the skillet off the heat and put it in the oven.
3. Bake for 20 minutes or until the center is set and the cornbread pulls away from the sides of the skillet. Let it cool before slicing and serving.
