This corn bread is a little on the sweet side. It's made with white cornmeal, but yellow works too. I learned to make it from my other mom (MIL). It is baked in a cast-iron skillet. Can be used to make stuffing or put leftovers in a cup with milk and put it in the fridge overnight for a comforting breakfast.

- 2 cups white cornmeal
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour

Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Beat eggs in a separate bowl and stir buttermilk into eggs. Pour half (2 tablespoons) of vegetable oil from the hot skillet into buttermilk mixture, retaining remaining oil in skillet, and beat until oil is incorporated. Mix buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients to make a smooth batter. Pour batter into skillet.

Chef John's Strawberry Crêpe Cake
Using this simple "crêpe cake" technique, you can turn any of your favorite cake fillings into visually stunning, multi-layered masterpieces. By the way, I say this is simple, not fast, as it does take some time to make and stack all those crêpes, but once you get rolling, it goes pretty quickly. Use the ingredient amounts only as a guide, as crêpe sizes and filling amounts will vary. Dust cake with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh strawberries.
