Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (191ðC).
  2. Grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet with softened butter and place it in the preheating oven to heat up.
  3. Prepare the corn by slicing kernels from 4 ears of fresh corn or thawing 2 cups of frozen corn kernels.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the lightly beaten eggs with the corn kernels.
  5. Add the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, and salt to the bowl.
  6. Stir in the milk and vegetable oil until just combined.
  7. Mix gently; do not overmix the batter to ensure a tender crumb.
  8. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and pour in the batter.
  9. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
