Baking cornbread in a cast-iron skillet gives it a crisp, brown crust, and keeps the inside moist and light; serve the bread right from the pan.

Cook's Notes

If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, use a 9-inch square baking pan; cool bread in pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert and cool 10 minutes more before serving.

    Wonderful taste, but very dry and crumbly on bottom.

    I liked this recipe. Quick and easy, not too sweet and it had a nice cakey texture. But it was much much too salty. I would cut back the salt to 1/2 tsp next time.

    Thank you for your comments! Wish the web master would see your comments. I'm going to check the cookbook and see if there's something omitted.

    This recipe is a little off. Mix the cornmeal, baking soda and salt (sugar /-). Add ONE egg and enough buttermilk to moisten so that the mixture just slides easily off the spoon when you hold a spoonful over the bowl and tip it. Add the hot butter or oil from the hot cast-iron skillet. Cook in a hot oven 425-450 just until golden brown and the crust is not too brown. Hmmm...crusty moist cornbread.

    wondering if the all-purpose flour was left out by mistake
