This skillet cornbread tastes great! It's slightly sweet and a good base recipe to experiment with. Cast iron skillets are versatile. They take a little bit of time to warm up but preheating the skillet allows the cornbread to cook more evenly.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 ¼ cups milk

  • 1 cup cornmeal

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 4 teaspoons baking powder

  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 2 eggs, beaten

Directions

  1. Place a 9-inch cast iron skillet into the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Mix milk and cornmeal together in small bowl. Let soak for 10 minutes.
