September 25, 2013 Filed Under: Breads

Traditional southern cast iron skillet Cornbread creates a thick crunchy crust with a tender golden bread.

As my mother always says, “this is the only way to make cornbread”. None of the soft sweetened stuff for our family.

When you make cornbread in a heated cast iron skillet the crust becomes deliciously crispy brown. Perfect for pairing with chili, beans, barbecue and more. It is also a key component of our Cornbread Stuffing.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup yellow corn meal
  • 1 cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat pastry)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup oil vegetable, canola
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Place a 10 inch cast iron skillet in oven while it is preheating. 
  • When skillet is hot pour a small amount of vegetable oil (1-2 tablespoons) into skillet and “swirl” to coat evenly. Use a pastry brush or paper towel to assist in spreading oil evenly over bottom and sides of skillet. Or use cooking spray. Careful, the skillet is hot! Use a thick pot holder.
  • Or grease a large cake pan or muffin tins.
  • Combine dry ingredients in large mixing bowl and mix well. Make a well in the top and add oil and egg. Stir or “whip” oil and egg together within the well using a fork. Blend all ingredients with a fork or large spoon in a circular motion until well mixed.
  • Add milk. Stir until all dry ingredients are moist. Do not over stir. Mixture should still be lumpy. Pour batter into oiled, heated skillet. Spread evenly with a fork, if necessary, to ensure the entire surface of the pan is evenly covered.
  • Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes until done — browned on top.
