Ingredients

1.25 cups milk
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
2 eggs, beaten
0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat up.
In a small bowl, combine milk and cornmeal. Let the mixture soak for 10 minutes to soften the cornmeal.
In a separate mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cornmeal mixture, eggs, and melted butter. Beat until you have a smooth batter, about 1 minute.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Pour vegetable oil into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom and sides. Discard any excess oil, then pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving.
