Buttermilk Cornbread

1. 1

   Set the oven to 375°F (175°C).

   Place a 9-inch cast iron skillet in the oven and let it heat for 10 minutes. Add the butter to the hot skillet, letting it melt, then brush it over the interior surfaces. Transfer the remaining melted butter to a large mixing bowl and whisk in the buttermilk and eggs.

   In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, baking soda, cornmeal, whole wheat flour, and salt. Stir the dry mixture and the frozen corn into the buttermilk mixture until just combined, then pour the batter into the prepared skillet.

   Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes.
