Cast-iron Skillet Corn Bread Recipe

Cast-iron Skillet Corn Bread

From kimichka25 14 years ago

Traditional Southern cornbread. My grandma always makes this with black eyed peas on New Year's day! Delicious with pretty much any soup.

Preheat oven to 425 Degrees.
Grease the bottom and side of a cast-iron skillet, then put it in the oven while you make the batter.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
Add the cornmeal and blend with a spoon.
Add the eggs, drippings, milk and sugar.
Lightly stir until blended.
Remove skillet from the oven and pour in the batter.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.
Variation: For jalapeno cheese cornbread, Add 3/4 C. grated cheddar cheese and 1 small can of diced jalapenos (drained)

Here in Alabama, cornbread not cooked in a skillet is called a muffin, fritter or cake. \0
