A delicious and easy-to-make cornbread recipe with a crispy crust and tender inside, perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for the best crust.
Place the vegetable oil in a 9-inch ovenproof skillet and heat it in the oven for about 3 minutes until hot.
Heating the skillet ensures a crispy crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, and baking powder.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Add the buttermilk and egg to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cornbread tender.
Carefully pour the batter into the hot skillet and spread it evenly.
Be cautious as the skillet will be very hot.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Letting it cool slightly makes slicing easier and safer.
