Ingredients

    one 10-inch cast iron skillet or dutch oven

    Butter, unsalted, 2 tbsp

    Yellow Cornmeal, stone ground, 2 cups
    Salt, 1 tsp
    Baking Soda, 1 tsp

    Buttermilk, 2 cups
    Egg, fresh, 2 large
    Olive Oil, 1 tbsp

Tips

You can cut down on the butter you add to the skillet, but you need at least some fat to add flavor and ensure an easy release from the pan.


Directions

Place the cast iron pan in the oven and preheat oven to 400F.

Meanwhile, combine the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another. Beat the wet ingredients until well combined.

When the oven is hot, open the door and throw the butter into the pan. Close the door and let it melt while you _quickly_ combine the wet and dry ingredients in as few strokes as possible. A whisk works well here.

Remove the pan from the oven, swirl the melted butter around the pan to coat, and quickly pour in the batter.

Return the pan to the oven and let bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden, crisp on the edges, and pulling away from the edge of the pan. Cut into wedges and serve hot.
