Masa Cornbread

This golden cornbread is made with masa flour for a fresh take on a classic.

Ingredients

• 15 ounces (427 g) corn masa flour
• baking powder
• baking soda
• 1 Tablespoon (14 g) cane sugar
• 3 cups (840 g) buttermilk [or milk of choice]
• 3 large eggs
• 6 ounces (170 g) unsalted butter, About 1 and 1/2 sticks, melted
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, optional

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190° C). Place a seasoned 12-inch cast iron skillet in oven to preheat.
2. Fit the Food Processor with the Multi-Use Blade. Add all of the dry ingredients to the Vitamix container and secure the lid. Pulse the mixture several times until dry ingredients are well mixed.
3. Reserve 1 Tablespoon of melted butter. Add remaining wet ingredients (eggs, buttermilk, butter) to the dry ingredients in the Vitamix container and secure the lid. Pulse until just mixed.
4. Use remaining butter to coat cast iron skillet or a 9-inch x 13-inch baking pan. Scrape in batter. Smooth out. Bake until golden brown on top and a toothpick or fork inserted into center pulls out cleanly. About 35–45 minutes
5. Let cool for 10–15 minutes. Serve or cool completely and reserve for another use.
