CAST IRON SKILLET CORN BREAD

SKILLET CORN BREAD
A simple, slightly sweet corn bread made in the versatile cast-iron skillet. Tastes great and is a good base recipe to experiment with. Cast-iron skillets take a little bit of time to warm up. Pre-warming the skillet allows the corn bread to cook evenly.

LIBBIES SKILLET CORN BREAD
Very old way to make cornbread. I made this. It had a nice crispy bottom because the oil was hot when I put it in pan. I used margarine instead of lard; it was okay. It is lighter than Southern cornbread; the batter is a lot looser than Southern corn bread but don't worry; it comes together great; it is a little moister and sweeter but tastes very good.

CARAMELIZED ONION SKILLET CORN BREAD
As part of GMA's $15 Dinner Dare series, each day an anchor unveiled a list of secret ingredients, then a chef had to prepare a tempting family meal live on the air with the newly unveiled ingredients. Emeril Lagasse was the second chef to take on the challenge. His list of surprise ingredients included only vegetables: black beans, pinto beans and spinach, so he contrived this side dish from the GMA pantry. I've never known anyone who could instantly caramelize onions, so this method was a huge surprise. Now, if you'd rather be more traditional, you can always caramelize onions (cut in 1/2 inch pieces) in the skillet over medium heat using a couple of tablespoons of butter and a little oil, sauteing until they turn brown and caramelize, then melt the remaining butter in the skillet (add sugar here if you like sweet cornbread) and continue with the recipe as written. Prep time includes time to heat the skillet.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle. Heat skillet in oven 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile stir together dry ingredients in small bowl. Whisk together eggs and buttermilk in a medium bowl.
- Remove hot skillet from oven (handle will be very hot) and add butter, swirling skillet to coat bottom and side (butter may brown). Whisk hot butter into buttermilk mixture and return skillet to oven. Stir cornmeal mixture into buttermilk mixture just until evenly moistened but still lumpy.
- Scrape batter into hot skillet and bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn out onto a rack and cool.
Tips:
- Use fresh corn. Fresh corn will give your cornbread a sweeter, more flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a hot skillet. A hot skillet will help to create a crispy crust on your cornbread.
- Cook the cornbread over medium heat. Medium heat will help to prevent the cornbread from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the cornbread will not cook evenly.
- Serve the cornbread warm. Cornbread is best served warm, but it can also be served at room temperature.
