Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a 9x9 inch cast iron skillet in the oven while it heats.
  • In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir until combined and set aside.
  • Reserve 1 tablespoon of butter for greasing the skillet. Melt the remaining butter in a microwave-safe bowl.

Mixing

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and honey.
  • Add the eggs and buttermilk, then whisk until fully combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, making sure there are no large lumps of flour. Be careful not to over-mix.

Baking

  • Remove the hot skillet from the oven and grease it with the reserved butter. Pour the batter into the greased skillet.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Notes
