To make 12 servings of cheesy cornbread, preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, corn meal, baking powder and salt. Then stir in grated Cabot Sharp Cheddar cheese.
In a separate small bowl, thoroughly whisk together milk, egg and melted Cabot Salted Butter.
Put vegetable oil in a 9-inch or 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or a glass pie plate). Once oven has been preheated, place skillet (or pie plate) in oven to preheat for 5 minutes.
Once preheated, remove skillet or pie plate from oven. Stir milk mixture into dry ingredients just until there are no traces of dry ingredients left. Spread batter evenly in the hot skillet or pie plate and return to oven to bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until corn bread is golden on top and skewer or knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Moist and tasty with my spring salad! All corn meal, no flour, worked fine.
Related adjustment: extra 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and I added a little extra milk so the batter was not so dry. With all the salt in the cheddar and butter, I left out the added salt – still plenty salty. I added some cayenne for a little zip.

This cornbread was so delicious that while eating it during a cold and cloudy day, the sun began to shine and the temperature went up 12 degrees. Remarkable taste and texture made a bowl of homemade vegetable soup taste like a gourmet meal. Thanks for the recipe, it is delicious.

i made this corn bread this evening to serve with Fisherman’s Soup, and the recipe is absolutely perfect. My husband and I couldn’t get over the moist, cheesy, chewy, outrageously rich flavor. This would wow any company you share it with !
