Ingredients

  • cup granulated sugar or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to approximately 350-degrees, or arrange hot coals in a circle around the perimeter of the grill, leaving the center free from coals and heat to a medium/high heat.
  • Cover 1 or 2 bricks with tin foil and place them in the center of the grill.
  • Place your seasoned empty skillet on top of the brick and close the cover.
    **Using bricks to elevate dishes from the direct flame, will turn your grill into your outdoor oven**
  • Heat your empty seasoned cast iron skillet in the grill while you prepare the batter.
  • Add all the dry ingredients into a large bowl and stir to combine. 
  • Add the wet ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine but not over mix.
  • Add the frozen corn and stir until just combined. 
  • Carefully spoon the batter evenly into the hot skillet, and tent with aluminum foil.
  • Carefully place the skillet onto the prepared bricks. Cover the grill. 
  • Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until the cornbread is golden brown and when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
