TEXAS CORN BREAD

- 5. Add hot oil, stirring so you don't cook the eggs as you add the oil.
- 6. Cook on high on top of stove for 30 - 45 seconds before placing in hot oven. This will give you a very crispy bottom crust.
- 7. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes in a hot oven. Begin checking for doneness after about 13 minutes. Cornbread will be done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The finished product should be tall and golden brown. It will also slide right out of the skillet if you have a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.
