1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal (not stone-ground)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 oz extra-sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated (1 cup)
2 scallions, thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
2/3 cup whole milk
2/3 cup well-shaken buttermilk
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F.

    Step 2

    Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Add Cheddar and scallions and whisk until combined.

    Step 4

    Pour batter into a well-greased 9- by 2-inch round cake pan and bake in middle of oven until pale golden and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.

    Step 5

    Cool corn bread in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack and invert onto a plate before cutting into wedges.
