Cast-Iron Skillet Cornbread bakes up with a golden, crisp edge and a tender, buttery crumb inside. The gentle sweetness of cornmeal shines through, perfect alongside hearty chilis, barbecue, or weeknight soups.

Cast-Iron Skillet Cornbread
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Combine the milk and cornmeal in a small bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the cornmeal mixture, eggs, and butter; beat until a smooth batter forms, about 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Take the hot skillet out of the oven. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Pour out any extra oil, then pour the batter into the skillet.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 23 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.
