I've never put mayo in cornbread, I'll have to try this out. Also love the idea of fatback in the pan. And you are so right, a cast iron skillet is the only way to go for this!


Yep... my Grandma and Mom always used cast... Somewhere I have a square cast baking pan... in storage.. got to dig that puppy out!


A classic cornbread and I always use cast iron to make it. Great post - thanks!!
