Zena, quit giving Louisiana credit for this. This is SOUTHERN cooking. And if you've got bacon grease that's the oil to use. Put the cast iron skillet and the oil in the oven and get it hot and when the batter goes in it will sizzle and the crust will be nice and crisp. Put some cane syrup over it and you've got depression-era cereal (posted) and good eating. Pass the butterbeans, please. Nice post.


Sounds delicious. I've been wanting a recipe for cornbread cooked in a skillet. Thank you!


Zena, Thanks for the recipe. I loved it when my Mom made this kind of cornbread and we are all from the midwest. Chefjeb is right though you need to preheat the pan with the oil and his idea for bacon grease just kicks it way up.


Oh man, now I'm just plain hungry.......


This sounds so good.....I bet it is a real artery clogger though with bacon grease!! LOL
I have been keeping my eye out for one of those old fashion cast iron skillets!! If I find one..this is my first recipe!


Great posting... I have a cast inon skillet that is perfect for this recipe - now I just have to season the skillet first!


I made this tonight. I have had it saved since you posted it. :) I served it with notyourmomma's Cowpoke Beans. It was perfect with them. I hope you like the pictures.

I love cornbread. My recipe is similar, but I omit the sugar and use shortening. I don't really know measurements as I just add the ingredients to the bowl and than add enough buttermilk to make the right consistency.

I heat my skillet till it is sizzling in the oven first and than I throw a tablespoon of cornmeal in the hot skillet and add the batter.

I don't know why I put the cornmeal in, but my Maw Maw always did that so I do too. Maybe I should ask her why. LOL
