Cornbread lovers all agree! There’s no better cornbread than cast iron skillet cornbread. It compliments a variety of southern cooking, is light and sweet, and is simple to make. With a properly seasoned skillet it pops right out of the pan onto the cooling rack. No trying to dig it out with a spatula and easy to slice in whatever shapes suit the meal being prepared. We enjoy ours especially with ham and beans and diced onion on top. This recipe was done in a 10.5 ” skillet which should take care of 4 hungry people, but we have other skillets available on our skillet page.

Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread

Cornbread is a staple if you enjoy Southern Style cooking. It pairs up with so many things as a great side dish. This is a sweet variety cornbread in as much as it has sugar in it. Some prefer not using sugar, but it's a matter of taste. Simple to make, you can whip a batch together while the beans and ham are cooking in the pot. So grab a skillet and get started.
