Cooking Instructions

40 minutes
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375º

  2. 2

    Mise en place ingredients as this will come together rather quickly.

  3. 3

    In a 10 inch cast-iron skillet, warm butter over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Take care to swirl the butter so the sides of the pan are coated.

  5. 5

    After the foam subsides, heat until the butter turns a nutty, dark brown that is fragrant.

  6. 6

    Pour the brown butter into a large mixing bowl. Place skillet off-heat on stove.

  7. 7

    Add the maple syrup and buttermilk, whisk to combine. The mixture should be warm, not hot.

  8. 8

    Add the eggs, combine.

  9. 9

    Add cornmeal, flours, whisk to remove any lumps.

  10. 10

    Add baking powder, salt, baking soda. Combine.

  11. 11

    Heat skillet on medium for 1 minute. Remove. Add batter. Smooth with a small offset spatula if you are finicky about that sort of thing.

  12. 12

    Place into medium rack in oven. Bake for 20 minutes.

  13. 13

    Turn heat down to 350º. This will prevent the outside ring from drying out. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until a nice golden brown crust develops.

  14. 14

    Remove from oven. Cool on rack for 10 minutes.

  15. 15

    Add honey or maple syrup for a sweet finish.
