Nothing like cornbread made in a cast iron skillet....it just seems to taste better. Good ole' southern style. This recipe is from my mom and she made it quite often when I was a child and now I make it for my brood. It is so good. So, I wanted to share it. Have a good weekend. Girls are off to see Twilight tonight and I can wait til the "hype" dies down. Seems like it will be quite an entertaining movie. I know my oldest has already read the first 2 books and is loving them! Anyway, take care....here's the recipe: ~KB
Skillet Cornbread
1 cup sifted flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
Mix the above together in a bowl, then add:
1 cup plus 2 tbsp. milk
1 egg
Beat for 1 minute and then add 4 tbsp. cooking oil. Beat for 1 minute more. Place some oil or could use melted butter in skillet. Pour in batter. The oil or butter will rise around it, greasing skillet evenly.
Bake in oven at 425 degrees for 25 minutes.
Split open and spread butter inside and serve.....yummy! ENJOY!
Note: I use a pretty large skillet (oversized) and I double the recipe.
