Cast-Iron Skillet Cornbread
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. Serve it warm from the pan with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for a comforting side any time.
