    Texas Style Cornbread - golden cornbread baked in a cast-iron skillet

    Texas-style cornbread is the golden skillet staple of every Texas table — a slightly sweet cornbread with a crisp, buttery crust, baked in a screaming-hot cast-iron pan. It’s the perfect companion to chili, barbecue, and beans.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven with the butter to melt.
    2. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and oil.
    3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
    4. Carefully swirl the melted butter in the hot skillet, then pour in the batter.
    5. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm with butter.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Heat the cast-iron skillet with butter in the oven before adding the batter — that sizzle creates the crispy crust. Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine.
