CAST IRON CORNBREAD

When it comes to deciding what to bring to a cookout, this super easy cast iron cornbread is the clear winner. You don't even need a cast iron pan! Ribs or brisket are great, though not cheap, while a bag of chips is just weak sauce. On the other hand, this cornbread is very inexpensive to make, but that'll be the last thing anyone will be thinking about as they eat. In fact, you'll probably be asked to bring it to the next gathering!

  • Preheat the skillet: Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the batter. This will help prevent the cornbread from sticking.
  • Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a better flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can substitute yellow cornmeal.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Just stir until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cornbread is cooked through.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This will help it hold its shape.
