Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or bacon fat)
- ¼ C butter, melted butter
- ¼ C oil
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 C buttermilk
- 1 C cornmeal
- 1 C unbleached white flour
- ½ C white sugar
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Preparation
- Preheat the Memphis Pellet Grill to 375 F*
- Grease an 8” cast iron frying pan with the bacon fat and set inside the Memphis while it pre-heats.
- Mix together the melted butter, oil, eggs and buttermilk.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the cornmeal, white flour, salt and baking soda.
- With a few swift strokes combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. The batter will be a bit lumpy.
- Pour batter into the hot cast iron pan and place on the lower rack of the pre-heated Memphis. Close the lid and bake for 35 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread should come out clean when the bread is done.
