Recipe Steps
- Preheat the oven to 220C and place your cast iron pan into the oven to heat it up for baking. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet you can use a regular oven-proof frying pan.
- In a bowl mix the Odlums super flour, semolina, salt, Odlums baking powder, and brown sugar together with a whisk, using your fingertips to remove any lumps.
- In a separate bowl combine the buttermilk, two eggs, and melted butter together. Give it a good whisk together until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk, forming almost like a thick batter. Don’t over whisk otherwise the mixture goes very doughy.
- Melt the 20g of butter in the preheated skillet along with the oil by placing it back into the oven for 1 minute.
- Now add the bread mixture to the pan, use a spatula to smooth it out, and quickly place it back into the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Once cooked you can cut straight into it, and serve with lots of butter. This is an ideal side for your next barbecue.
