Cheddar and Sage Skillet Cornbread
99 people added this to their Recipe Box
Slightly coarse cornmeal adds a pleasing crunchy texture to cornbread. No multigrain flour? Use 1/3 cup (75 mL) each all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. Be sure to measure out the ingredients before you put the skillet in the hot oven. There's just enough time to mix them while the butter melts and the skillet heats.

1-3/4 cups (425 mL) medium-grind cornmeal
2/3 cup (150 mL) multigrain flour
1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar
2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) milk
1 cup (250 mL) shredded old cheddar cheese
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh sage (or 1 tsp/5 mL dried)
2 tbsp (25 mL) butter
Preparation:
Place butter in 10-inch (25 cm) ovenproof cast-iron skillet. Heat in centre of 450°F (230°C) oven until smoking, about 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In separate bowl, beat eggs until foamy; whisk in milk. Pour over cornmeal mixture. Add half of the cheese and the sage; stir just until combined.
Scrape batter into hot pan; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake until golden and firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. Let cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes. If desired, invert onto rack; invert top side up. Eat while still hot or let cool. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)
