BROWN BUTTER SKILLET CORNBREAD



Brown Butter Skillet Cornbread image

This lightly sweet cornbread has a crunchy, buttery crust, which comes from baking it in a hot skillet. If you have a cast-iron pan, this is the time to use it. The heavy, heat-retaining material will give you the darkest color (which equals the most flavor). But any large ovenproof skillet will work. And if you don't have a skillet big enough to hold all the batter, you can either halve the recipe or bake the cornbread in 9-by-13-inch pan. (Brown the butter first in a saucepan.) Your bread won't have the same dark crust, but the moist crumb flavored with brown butter and maple syrup is ample recompense.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks)/170 grams unsalted butter
1/2 cup/120 ml maple syrup
2 1/4 cups/530 ml buttermilk
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups/180 grams yellow cornmeal, fine or medium-coarse grind
1/2 cup/65 grams whole wheat flour
1/2 cup/60 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons/18 grams baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons/9 grams kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon/5 grams baking soda

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. On the stovetop, in a 11- or 12-inch skillet (ovenproof and preferably cast iron), melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling pan to lightly coat sides and bottom, until the foam subsides and the butter turns a deep nut brown. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn.)
  • Pour brown butter into a large bowl. (Do not wipe out the pan.) Whisk the maple syrup into the butter, then whisk in buttermilk. The mixture should be cool to the touch; if not, let cool before whisking in the eggs. Then whisk in the cornmeal, flours, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  • If the skillet is no longer hot (cast iron retains heat longer than other metals), reheat it briefly on the stove for a few minutes. Scrape batter back into it. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into it emerges clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before slicing.

SKILLET CORN BREAD



Skillet Corn Bread image

A simple, slightly sweet corn bread made in the versatile cast-iron skillet. Tastes great and is a good base recipe to experiment with. Cast-iron skillets take a little bit of time to warm up. Pre-warming the skillet allows the corn bread to cook evenly.

SKILLET CORNBREAD WITH HOMEMADE BUTTER



Skillet Cornbread with Homemade Butter image

This is a great recipe and tastes better, I find, when cooked in a cast-iron skillet and served tableside. I have also served this recipe for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Whether with jam and butter or fried chicken on the side, there are rarely leftovers! I usually make a seasonal jam or some butter from scratch. Pretty easy and really impresses your friends and family. In an ideal world, the cornbread ingredients are all around room temperature and not ice cold from the fridge...

Time 50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups coarsely ground cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
2 large eggs, lightly beaten, at room temperature
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 tablespoon for greasing the skillet
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the skillet cornbread: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F place a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat while you make the batter.
  • Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Whisk in the milk, buttermilk and eggs. Stir in 1 stick (8 tablespoons) of melted butter.
  • Bake: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and coat the bottom and sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour the batter into the skillet and place it in the center of the oven. Bake until the center is firm and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool.
  • For the homemade butter:
  • Prepare a medium-size bowl of ice water. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, gradually whip the cream and sour cream together. Increase the speed of the mixer and continue whipping until the cream separates and the mixture thickens.
  • Use a rubber spatula to gather up the butter and remove it from the bowl. There will be some liquid that is a natural result of this process. That liquid is actually buttermilk. Gather the ball of butter together into a double layer of cheesecloth or a thin kitchen towel and plunge it into the ice bath to wash any buttermilk off the surface. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Pack the butter into a bowl or roll it into a ball or log shape using plastic wrap. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to preheat your skillet over medium-high heat before adding the butter. This will help the butter brown evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cornbread tough.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 25-30 minutes.
  • Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
