Skillet Cornbread
Prep: 5 min
Bake: 30 min
Yield: 6 to 8 Servings
There's nothing like the crusty, buttery edges of a homemade cornbread when it's baked the old-fashioned way in a cast-iron skillet. Serve hot and buttered as a side with beans and greens, soups and stews and turkey dinners.
Ingredients
Directions
- PREHEAT oven to 375℉.
- GREASE a 10-inch skillet with butter or bacon grease.
- WHISK together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- COMBINE egg, buttermilk, melted butter and honey in a separate bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- BAKE until top is golden brown and the edges have pulled away from the sides of pan, about 30 minutes.
- REMOVE from oven and let stand for 5 minutes; serve with butter and honey.

Hi Nancy, An update from The Kitchen on the Skillet Cornbread; The recipe was tested and concluded that it tested well. It’s not a fancy cornbread, but rather simple and it tested quite moist. Overbaking by just a few minutes could result it a dry crumb. Increasing the honey a bit and serving with a nice honey butter would be the recommendation. Happy baking!
To the one that’s say flour don’t go in cornbread it goes in mine everyone I knew put flour in there corn bread and I am from Alabama even on the cooling shows they put flour in cornbread. Not cake flour just plain selfrising flour. I Love some of these recipes and I will be making and already made some of them.
Hey, I love your site, but I need to let you know that true cornbread does not have flour in it, which is why it is called cornbread.
Thank you for the post. We appreciate everyone’s feedback. Happy baking!
