Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and place the cast iron skillet on the middle rack in the oven. When the is preheated, add the butter into the cast iron pan to melt – this should only take a few minutes so watch that it doesn’t burn!
  • Add the milk into a jar and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to slightly curdle.
  • In a large bowl, add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, and sea salt. Whisk the dry ingredients well to combine.
  • When the milk mixture has sat for 5-10 minutes, add the maple syrup and oil. Stir to combine.
  • Make a well in the center of the cornmeal mixture and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until almost combined.
  • Carefully remove the cast iron skillet from the oven, pour the melted butter into the batter, and mix.
  • Pour the cornbread batter into the hot skillet. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes (check at 25 minutes), until a toothpick that is inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. It will smell amazing! Cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
