Iron skillet corn bread
- Share via
Creamed corn and fresh corn kernels in addition to the cornmeal make for a rich corn flavor also and lend texture to this hearty cornbread.
Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour and the baking powder.
In a large bowl, stir together the creamed corn, ricotta cheese, eggs, vegetable oil, one-half cup plus 1 tablespoon cornmeal, one-half cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, the salt and corn kernels. Stir in the flour mixture a little at a time until incorporated.
Spoon the mixture into a 10 1/2-inch seasoned cast-iron skillet or similar-sized greased baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining two-thirds cup each flour, cornmeal and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until combined to form a crumbly mixture. Drizzle the crumble topping over the corn bread base.
Bake the corn bread until puffed and lightly browned on top and a cake tester or knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes.
