01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Place a 9-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to preheat for 10 minutes. This ensures a crispy crust. Once heated, carefully remove the skillet and melt the butter directly in the hot skillet. Swirl to coat the bottom and sides, reserving the excess melted butter in a large mixing bowl.
03 Step
Recipe View
In the bowl with the excess melted butter, whisk in the buttermilk and eggs until well combined. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, baking soda, cornmeal, whole wheat flour, and salt. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Gently fold the dry ingredients and frozen corn into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Pour the batter into the hot, buttered skillet and spread evenly. (1 minute)
07 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 20-25 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
For an extra touch of flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the skillet.
If you don't have white whole wheat flour, you can use regular all-purpose flour. However, the white whole wheat flour adds a subtle nutty flavor and a bit more fiber.
Fresh corn kernels (cut from the cob) can be used in place of frozen corn. Adjust the amount based on your preference.
Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a delightful treat.
A bit of diced jalapeno could make it more interesting.
