CAST IRON SKILLET BAKED CORNBREAD

Cast Iron Skillet Baked Cornbread image

This is the result of the highly successful method of 'Trial and Error' to find the "perfect" cornbread for my 10" Cast Iron Skillet. Enjoy! This can be baked in other dishes (8x8, 9x9, muffin tins, larger or smaller skillets etc and the doubled recipe fills a 9x13) but I do not have baking times for those. Updated directions 2/16/2015
