Scallion Cornbread

Recipe Description

This delicious Scallion Cornbread bakes up best in a cast-iron skillet, giving it a crunchy golden edge and tender crumb. Or you can divide the batter between two cast-iron cornstick skillets and make individual cornbreads in the shape of small ears of corn, adding a fancy touch to your holiday bread basket. Mini cornbreads will bake faster, so check after 10 minutes. 

First, preheat your oven and lightly grease your cast-iron skillet. To make the batter, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Then, combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined, and then fold in the Cheddar and scallions. Scrape the batter into the prepared skillet and bake until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into it emerges clean. Serve warm. 

To make the Scallion Cornbread, you will need the following ingredients:
