Shishito Skillet Cornbread

A slightly sweet and spicy skillet cornbread. Ready in less than 30 minutes!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups stone-ground cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup creamed corn
  • 6 - 8 Shishito peppers deseeded and diced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the middle right in the middle of the center rack.
  • Whisk the cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, baking soda together in a small mixing bowl, set aside.
  • In a larger bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and creamed corn. Use only 1 cup of the buttermilk at first.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
  • If the batter seems a little dry, add the remainder of the buttermilk.
  • Lastly, fold the diced Shishito peppers into the batter.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and pour the oil into the hot skillet. Swirl (carefully) to coat.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and jiggle the pan to evenly distribute. Don't be surprised if the edges bubble because the pan is hot!
  • Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and springs back when touched.
  • My bread took just 15 minutes, but oven temperatures can vary widely so be sure to check your bread starting at 15 minutes and adjust accordingly.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for several minutes.
  • Serve warm with butter.
