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.

- Be sure to preheat your skillet over medium heat before adding the cornbread batter. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Don't overmix the cornbread batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
- Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
